ELECQ, a Chinese manufacturer of smart electric vehicle (EV) chargers, has notified customers of a ransomware attack that compromised personal data stored in its cloud systems.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting AWS cloud systems, and exposing Names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses.
In response, teams activated the incident response plan, moved swiftly to contain the threat with measures like Isolated affected servers, restored systems from backups, and began remediation that includes Disabled remote access services (SSH, Telnet), enhanced encryption measures, while recovery efforts such as Systems restored from backups continue, and stakeholders are being briefed through Customer notification, regulatory reporting.
The case underscores how Ongoing, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Customer notification sent.
Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
