Dragos Inc. Responds to Cyberattack

Dragos Inc. has revealed it responded to a cyberattack in which a threat actor associated with a known but unnamed cybercriminal group attempted to extort the company. Although the attacker obtained some corporate data, the cybersecurity vendor reportedly attempted attempts to infiltrate its network, preventing a ransomware attack.

According to a blog post published by Dragos, the attacker obtained "general use data" in resources for new sales hires. When Dragos ignored the hacker’s payment demands, the attacker contacted employees’ family members, other publicly known Dragos contacts, and senior employees’ personal email accounts.
