- J Group claims to have stolen 11 GB of sensitive data from DCS
- Cybergenws reviewed sample files but could not confirm their authenticity
- DCS has not confirmed or denied the alleged violation of ransomware
A company that builds dimensional engineering software for giants like Siemens and Samsung has reportedly suffered a ransomware attack that loses lots of sensitive customer data.
A Ransomware group, which calls J Group, recently added dimensional Control Systems (DCS) to its data leakage -website.
JGROUP claims to have stolen 11 GB of company data, including sensitive internal documents such as proprietary software architecture and documentation, configuration files for integration with CAE, HPC and PLM systems, client-page Metadata that define business objects, user permits and audit tracks, sensitive legal documents and internal procedure Security.
How to remain safe
DCS is a Michigan-based company that specializes in quality and dimensional engineering software for manufacturing industries. Its flagship product, 3DCS variation analyst, helps the manufacturers simulate and analyze dimensional variation in joints before production begins.
Its clients who work in car, aerospace, electronics and medical equipment sectors, and include as industrial giants such as Boeing, Volkswagen, Siemens and Samsung.
To prove its claims, J Group released a .txt file and a compressed folder with samples. Security researchers from Cygenerws examined the samples, and although they decided that the documents contain people’s names and some spending reports, they did not confirm or deny the authenticity of the files.
The researchers also emphasized that cyber criminals on many occasions recycle files that were stolen in previous attacks to try to make money from them again.
Currently, the DCS is quiet. There is no official confirmation or denial of the attack. We have reached the company and update the article if we hear back. If these files were actually stolen, the implications could be serious and include the risk of intellectual property, compromise on the supply chain, client data exposure as well as legal and regulatory fallout or operational disturbance.
The violation could undermine DCS’s technical integrity, client confidence and regulatory status.
