Hackers have exploited a security vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer tool, compromising the personal data of over 15.5 million individuals. The number of victim organizations affected by the Clop ransomware attacks continues to grow, with more than 140 known victims, including U.S. government agencies, universities, and public sector organizations. The list of casualties includes Oregon driver's license holders, Louisiana residents, members of the California Public Employees' Retirement System, Genworth Finance clients, Wilton Reassurance customers, Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System beneficiaries, and Talcott Resolution customers. The University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and Siemens Energy are among the newly listed victims. The exact number of impacted organizations and individuals remains unknown, and more victims are expected to come to light. The U.S. State Department has offered a $10 million bounty for information on the Clop ransomware group.
