The Clop ransomware operators are back in action by targeting a well-known logistics company based in Austria.

Founded in the year 1954, earning revenue of around € 300 million and having a workforce of more than 2,000 people, Hodlmayr International operates as a specialist in global vehicle logistics. Along with that, they offer tailormade solutions along the entire vehicle distribution chain, from the manufacturer to the vehicle dealer.

Based on the information leaked, it appears that the negotiation between the ransomware operators and Hodlmayr International failed, which made them leak part 1 of the company’s database. As per now, they leaked around 10GB of their sensitive data. Part 1 of the data leak seems to be a warning for the company to accept the terms of the ransomware operators.

The Cyble Research Team has identified and verified the data leak of around 10GB. The data leak includes sensitive corporate operational documents such as users’ details, snapshots of user IDs, email conversations, and much more. Below are few files from the lot being leaked by Clop ransomware operators.
