The notorious ransomware organization known as RANSOMEDVC made the brazen claim that they had managed to breach the defenses of the giant Japanese multinational conglomerate Sony Organization Corporation. This claim was made through listings on its clearnet and dark web platforms, where the group declared its complete infiltration of all Sony systems. The clearnet and dark web platforms were used to make the claim.
The gang responsible for the ransomware made a statement claiming that they had “successfully compromised all Sony systems.” The RANSOMEDVC ransomware gang has adopted a different strategy from the traditional approach followed by ransomware, which involves locking down the victim’s system, causing disruptions to IT activities, and demanding payment in exchange for the decryption key. The organization has announced its desire to monetize the stolen material, citing Sony’s apparent unwillingness to cooperate with its demands. Instead of demanding a ransom, the group has expressed its intention to do so. An examination of the sample data that was made available on the websites maintained by RANSOMEDVC provides very limited information. Among the materials that have been compromised is a PowerPoint presentation said to come from Sony’s Quality Assurance Division, as well as internal screenshots that appear to reveal a Sony workstation, Java files and other data. To provide some background, the RANSOMEDVC ransomware gang has been active since at least 2023. They have become famous for their aggressive methods, which include threatening victims with the disclosure of sensitive data if ransom demands are not met. These tactics have earned them a lot of notoriety.

In particular, the RANSOMEDVC gang has been linked to a series of high-profile cyberattacks, one of which occurred in September 2023 and targeted the Hawaiian government website. Its goals span a wide range of industries, including the medical field, business, and technology. The claims made by the ransomware group known as RANSOMEDVC were made just days after the FBI and CISA issued a joint alert about the dangers posed by another ransomware group known as Snatch Ransomware. This development highlights the severity and breadth of the ransomware threat.
On the other hand, Sony has been proven to be a valuable target for hackers because it is popular around the world and has a user base that spans the entire planet. Previously, Sony was the victim of a large and extensive data breach. During this incident, hackers revealed personal data and income information of executives and staff working for Sony Group.
In February 2021, authorities in the United States of America filed charges against three North Korean hackers in connection with a series of cyberattacks, one of which was their involvement in the Sony Pictures hack.
Despite this, the recent emergence of the RANSOMEDVC gang highlights the widespread danger that ransomware poses to businesses of all sizes. Therefore, it is very necessary for companies to have comprehensive cybersecurity policies to be able to protect themselves against attacks of this type.
