A hacking group known as Cl0p claims to have stolen large volumes of data from nearly 50 companies including Philips, Shell, Fiserv, and GE by exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in widely used engineering and manufacturing software.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and Industrial Automation, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must urgently review your exposure to unpatched industrial software like PTC Windchill and FlexPLM or risk being a silent target for data theft. Cl0p's attack pattern means your risk is tied to what you run, not who you are.
