December 6, 2024

INCIDENT

A ransomware gang has managed to penetrate a TÜV Rheinland training network. Access data may have leaked in the process. The affected network segment was deactivated immediately after the attack was detected. TÜV Rheinland's corporate network and the other training network were not affected by the incident.

A well-known hacker group called Ransomexx claims to have infiltrated IT systems of the Cologne-based testing service provider TÜV Rheinland AG and stolen a total of 650 GB of company data. As can be seen in a screenshot shared by Falconfeeds.io on X , the attackers have not yet given any details about the stolen data. "The post will be available shortly ," says Ransomexx's data leak page.
