CAMERA GIANT OLYMPUS HIT BY RANSOMWARE ATTACK CYBERSECURITY

Famous camera maker Olympus claims it is investigating “a potential
cybersecurity incident” that’s affected its computers across the European,
Middle East and Africa regions.

However, an anonymous source familiar with the incident told TechCrunch that
Olympus is grappling with a ransomware attack that began on September 8, 2021. 



Interestingly, the source shared details about the incident with TechCrunch
prior to Olympus acknowledging the incident.

“We are currently working to determine the extent of the issue and will continue
to provide updates as new information becomes available. We apologize for any
inconvenience this has caused,” read Olympus’ official statement.


A VICTIM OF BLACKMATTER?

In its statement put out on Saturday, 11 September, Olympus did acknowledge that
it first detected “suspicious activity” on September 8. Once alerted, the
company claims its specialized response team was quick to act, and is working
with forensics experts to help resolve the issue.

“As part of the investigation, we have suspended data transfers in the affected
systems and have informed the relevant external partners,” Olympus informs.

The anonymous source however shared with TechCrunch the ransomware note left
behind by the Olympus attackers. 

Decrypting the purported note, ransomware expert and threat analyst at Emsisoft,
Brett Callow, believes the attack seems to be orchestrated by BlackMatter.

BlackMatter is a new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) threat actor, which the
cybersecurity community claims to have risen from the ashes of the notorious
DarkSide RaaS operator. 

Emsisoft has also found technical links between Darkside and BlackMatter, which
has apparently chalked up over 40 victims since its appearance earlier this year
in June, 2021.

Olympus didn’t immediately respond to our email asking for confirmation whether
it has indeed been the target of a BlackMatter campaign.
