A Russian-linked hacker gang says it has stolen a slew of files from Rackspace Technologies, Inc. in another apparent data breach
A Russian -linked hacker gang claims it has stolen a slew of files from Rackspace Technologies Inc. but the San Antonio cloud-computing company denies it’s suffered another data breach. The group, known as Cl0p , says it uploaded Rackspace files to the dark web this month after the company ignored a ransom request, according to a report from Cybernews .
Rackspace brushed aside the notion that Cl0p accessed its systems as part of a broad hacking campaign the group says has hit at least 170 entities worldwide since October. Home Depot was also on its list and also said it’s systems weren’t breached. RELATED: Rackspace says data breach compromised some customers' information “Rackspace has completed a comprehensive investigation following claims of data exfiltration by an unauthorized actor,” a Rackspace spokeswoman said Tuesday. “Our investigation has found no indicators of compromise within our internal infrastructure.” Though Rackspace was included in the hacker group’s dark web postings, the company said it found no evidence linking that data to Rackspace’s systems. The dark web is a network of websites not indexed by search engines and often associated with illegal activities such as selling stolen data. “Based on these findings, we have no indication that Rackspace has been impacted,” the spokeswoman said. “We remain committed to the security of our customers and will continue to monitor the situation closely.” According to Cybernews, Cl0p posted the files under a heading that said, “DEAR COMPANIES. Below you can find a list of companies that were notified but ignored and did not contact us.” READ MORE: Why a Canadian financial services firm sued Rackspace for fraud It said “RACKSPACE.COM FULL FILES PUBISHED VIA TOR.” A screenshot of the site shows Rackspace company information and a “warning” that “the company doesn’t care about its customers. it ignored their security!!!” It included links to download six files. Cl0p gained notoriety in 2023 with its MOVEit hacking campaign that hit more than 2,600 organizations and nearly 90 million people, according to Cybernews. Payouts for that ransomware attack are estimated to have been between $75 million and $100 million. Rackspace experienced a high-profile ransomware attack in December 2022 that left as many as 30,000 customers locked out of their e-mail, contacts and calendars. The episode cost at least $10.8 million to clean up, according to company filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Costs included hiring a global cybersecurity firm to “investigate and remediate, legal and other professional services, and supplemental staff resources that were deployed to provide support to customers.” RELATED: Rackspace reports quarterly loss of $60M amid new strategy, board changes The attack also led to several lawsuits, including a federal class-action suit a judge dismissed in May 2023. In October, Rackspace reported another incident that compromised customer data and impacted its services, but denied it had been hacked. “This was not a data breach, it was a compromise of some customer data, which is completely different,” a company spokesperson said at the time. Rackspace reported a quarterly loss of $60 million in the last three months of 2024, ending a year that saw revenue shrink by 7%. Its shares closed Tuesday at $1.78, down almost 19% this year.
