Sony has confirmed a data breach that affected approximately 6,800 individuals, including current and former employees and their family members. The breach occurred due to an unauthorized party exploiting a vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer platform. Sony immediately took the platform offline and launched an investigation with the help of external cybersecurity experts. The breach was limited to the software platform and did not spread to other parts of Sony’s network. However, the Russian ransomware group Cl0p managed to steal sensitive data from 6,791 individuals in the United States. Sony is offering credit monitoring and identity restoration services to the victims.
