The REvil ransomware operators target Leader Creek Fisheries and Alaska General Seafood, two well-known seafood companies. In this instance, they struck and downloaded their sensitive and highly confidential documents from the company’s database.
Founded in the year 1999, Leader Creek Fisheries is a producer of wild Alaskan sockeye salmon products in Naknek, AK. Their all-refrigerated fishing fleet was the first of its kind in Bristol Bay and will forever be one of the cornerstones of our quality-focused operation. They specialize in producing premium fresh-frozen, boneless fillets, and every summer they invite approximately 400 highly motivated, hard-working men and women from across the country to come work at their shoreside plant and be a part of the Leader Creek family. Whereas, Alaska General Seafoods (AGS) is a socially responsible seafood processing company that purchases fresh seafood from independent fishermen, who harvest their wild catch from sustainable fisheries in a responsible manner from the cold pristine waters of Alaska. AGS produces canned, fresh, and frozen seafood and sells to wholesale customers around the world. Their seafood products are manufactured in processing facilities that are certified at the highest levels, by both state and federal regulators and independent food inspection agencies, to ensure our seafood products are wholesome and of high quality.
