Clop, a prolific ransomware gang, has taken credit for stealing data from at least 66 companies by exploiting a bug in widely used corporate file transfer tools made by Cleo Software .
The gang said it planned to soon reveal the full names of the companies it hacked, likely in an effort to extort the victims into paying the hackers a ransom not to release their stolen files.
This is the gang’s latest mass hack in recent years targeting file transfers tools, used by companies to share often large sensitive datasets over the internet.
