the israeli developer of artificial intelligence processors habana labs, owned by intel, was subjected to a cyber attack using extortionate software, during which attackers stole confidential data.
The operators of the pay2key ransomware published on their website on the darknet files allegedly stolen from Habana Labs during a cyber attack. the data includes windows domain account information, dns zone information for the domain, as well as business documents and source code screenshots. According to the hacker group, they managed to gain access to information about the new Gaudi artificial intelligence accelerator developed by Intel.
the attackers reported that habana labs has "72 hours to stop the process of data leakage." it is not known exactly what ransom demands were made by cybercriminals.
Several companies and large corporations in Israel have already fallen victim to the pay2key ransomware. The first attacks were recorded at the end of October this year, and their number is growing. Criminals usually carry out attacks after midnight, when companies have fewer IT employees. The pay2key malware allegedly penetrates the network of organizations through a weakly protected RDP connection (remote desktop protocol). Attackers gain access to corporate networks "some time before the attack," and malware is able to encrypt the victim's network in an hour.
