The prolific Maze ransomware gang has been tied to yet more attacks, including against Singapore-based defense contractor ST Engineering. The firm has confirmed that its North American subsidiary, VT San Antonio Aerospace, was successfully attacked by the crypto-locking malware gang, although divulged no timeline for when the attack occurred.
In a statement posted Sunday and shared via email with Information Security Media Group, Ed Onwe, vice president and general manager of VT San Antonio Aerospace, says Maze gained entry to its network, and that the attack successfully encrypted a number of systems.
ST Engineering is a global aerospace, maritime, smart city and defense contractor with about 23,000 employees worldwide. The company did not state exactly when the attack took place or how much damage was done.
"Upon discovering the incident, the company says it took immediate action, including disconnecting certain systems from the network, retaining third-party forensic advisors to help investigate and notifying appropriate law enforcement computer engineering definition," according to VT San Antonio Aerospace.
