Canon Suffers Ransomware Attack 10Tb Data Allegedly Compromised

Camera maker Canon has reportedly been affected by a ransomware attack. The attack resulted in several Canon websites going down and also apparently compromised almost 10 terabytes of data including private databases.

Canon’s image.canon domain went down on July 30 and became operational on August 4. However, ransomware operators apparently clarified BleepingComputer that image.canon domain’s outage is not related to their ransomware attack.

Going by Maze’s nature of operation, the attackers are likely to make the stolen data publicly available if the company fails to pay the demanded ransom. In case you didn’t know already, Maze has previously pulled off high-profile attacks on companies such as LG, Xerox, and Cognizant to name a few.
