One of Europe’s biggest defense contractors is racing against a ransomware countdown after hackers threatened to publish allegedly stolen data. The Gentlemen ransomware gang has listed one of Europe’s defense powerhouses – the Spanish multinational company and NATO contractor, the Indra Group. So far, it is unknown what kind of data is involved in the alleged data breach. The gang released a post on June 30th on its leak site on the dark web, setting the deadline for the company to start communication. According to the post, Indra Group has 9 days before the data is publicly released. This is a common tactic ransomware gangs use to threaten victims and pressure them into paying the ransom. As reported in local media, Indra has confirmed a ransomware attack that affected one of its subsidiaries but has “guaranteed the security and continuity of its services.”
