A threat actor allegedly auctioned off corporate data from Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSX: PSMC) on the dark web.
The total amount of data is allegedly 447.5 GB (without compression) and includes finance, accounting, human resources/employee, information technology, compliance, and administrative documents.
“On April 9, 2024, we came to know that our corporate data has been leaked due to a cyber-attack. Initial investigations suggest that data related to HR, Financials, etc., from the server, has been ported out to public IP,” PSMC told the Pakistan Stock Exchange earlier today.
According to the threat actor’s message, the breached data allegedly includes source codes for IT applications, executives’ e-mail boxes (PST), passports, salary and tax-related documents, SAP & ERP, internal databases, VoIP records (March 2024).
And contracts with other companies, as well as information on the computers of critical company personnel (CEO, CFO, IT managers, directors, and so on).
It was also claimed to contain approximately 37 GB of data from Suzuki’s main office in Japan. This follows the automaker’s recent announcement that it was delisting from PSX.
In February 2024, PSMC announced a share purchase offer (SPA) to sell 22.14 million shares at Rs. 609 per share, effectively delisting.
This was initiated after Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, the majority shareholder in Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (the Company), recently decided to purchase all of the Company’s shares held by others (other than the Sponsor / Majority Shareholder).
