Over the weekend AXA, an insurance giant based in Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines, reported falling victim to a ransomware attack. The attack is claimed to have been perpetrated by the Avaddon ransomware group, which has said it stole 3 TB of sensitive data from AXA’s Asian operations.
The attack was not limited to ransomware, as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) was also observed, taking AXA’s global websites down for part of Saturday.
