BLACKBYTE RANSOMWARE GROUP HIT ASAHI GROUP HOLDINGS, A PRECISION METAL
MANUFACTURING AND METAL SOLUTION PROVIDER

THE BLACKBYTE RANSOMWARE GROUP CLAIMS TO HAVE COMPROMISED ASAHI GROUP HOLDINGS,
A PRECISION METAL MANUFACTURING AND METAL SOLUTION PROVIDER.

Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. is a precision metal manufacturing and metal solution
provider, for more than 40 years, the company has been delivering end-to-end
services in the industries of precision metals and thin-film coatings with
different teams of experts.

The BlackByte ransomware group claims to have stolen gigabytes of documents from
Asahi Group Holdings, including financial and sales reports.

The ransomware gang is demanding 500k$ to buy data and 600k$ to delete the
stolen data.

The BlackByte ransomware operation has been active since September 2021, in
October 2021 researchers from Trustwave’s SpiderLabs released a decryptor that
can allow victims of early versions of BlackByte ransomware to restore their
files for free.

In February, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed that the
BlackByte ransomware gang has breached at least three organizations from US
critical infrastructure sectors.

In 2021, a flaw in the operation was found that allowed a free BlackByte
decryptor to be created. Unfortunately, after the weakness was reported, the
threat actors fixed the flaw.

In August 2022, a new version of the BlackByte ransomware appeared in the threat
landscape, the version 2.0 uses extortion techniques similar to LockBit ones.
The gang allows victims to pay $5,000 to postpone the leaking of their data by
24 hours, download the data for $200,000, or destroy all the data by paying a
$300,000 ransom. The prices are not fixed and could vary depending on the
importance of the victim.

Early October, researchers from Sophos warned that BlackByte ransomware
operators are using a bring your own vulnerable driver (BYOVD) attack to bypass
security products.
