On 25 January 2024, Hilton disclosed Ransomware issues under the banner "Cl0p Ransomware Gang Claims Breach of Hilton, Allegedly Stealing 48.5GB of Data".
The Russia-linked ransomware group Cl0p has added Hilton, one of the world’s largest hotel chains, to its dark web leak site, alleging a successful cyberattack.
The disruption is felt across the environment, and exposing 48.5GB of documents.
Formal response steps have not been shared publicly yet.
The case underscores how Unverified.
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.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.
