- DISH Network Corp DISH recently confirmed that hackers targeted the personal information of nearly 300,000 individuals months after the February ransomware attack.
- The firm said hackers accessed hundreds of thousands of employee-related records during the cyberattack, TechCrunch cites a last week attorney general filing.
- It said that former employees, employees’ family members, and a “limited number of other individuals” were affected by the breach.
- Dish’s data hack information confirms that hackers also accessed driver’s license numbers and other forms of identification.
- The company has reportedly received confirmation that the hackers have deleted the extracted data, implying some negotiation between the hackers and the victim.
- Hackers have not added Dish to the dark web leak site of the Russia-linked Black Basta ransomware gang — allegedly behind the cyberattack — another sign of potential negotiation between the parties.
- Dish’s ransomware incident came to the forefront in late February after customers complained about a prolonged outage that prevented them from accessing streams, services, or their accounts.
- Previous reports claimed the hack to have affected 10 million or more customers.
- Price Action: DISH shares closed higher by 1.19% at $6.78 on Monday.
