Commercial printing and imaging technologies company Kodak has confirmed suffering a data breach after the ShinyHunters cybercrime group claimed to have stolen information from its systems.
Kodak was named on the ShinyHunters website on June 15, with the hackers claiming to have obtained more than 2.2 million records of customer personal information and other corporate data.
The hackers threatened to leak the stolen data on June 18 unless the company pays a ransom.
Contacted by SecurityWeek, Kodak said it’s conducting an investigation with the aid of external cybersecurity experts and promised to share additional information “as appropriate”.
“Kodak recently discovered that an unauthorized third party illegally gained access to a limited amount of company data,” said a spokesperson for Kodak.
“Although our investigation is ongoing, we are confident the incident was limited in scope and has been contained and that there is no threat to our systems or operations as a result of the incident,” the spokesperson added. “We have also notified law enforcement and are continuing to support their investigation.”
ShinyHunters has been highly active over the past year, conducting massive data theft campaigns targeting widely used enterprise software.
In a recent operation, the group reportedly targeted at least 100 organizations by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft.
