With the first half of 2023 in the rears, more ransomware groups and other cyber threat operators are ramping up their operations on companies during the second half of the year.

Gates Corporation, a Denver-based manufacturer of transmission belts and fluid power products, has fallen victim to a ransomware attack. Its sensitive HR documents were exposed to threat operators.

Over the weekend, critical infrastructure services provider Ventia announced that it had taken some of its systems offline to contain a cyberattack.

Kirkland & Ellis, Proskauer Rose, and K&L Gates law firms were exposed to a vulnerability in third-party software used to transfer files, which was exploited by the Clop ransomware group.

Deutsche Bank AG has confirmed that a data breach on one of its service providers has exposed its customers’ data in a likely MOVEit Transfer data-theft attack.

HCA Healthcare disclosed a data breach by an “unauthorized party” that released some patient information on an online forum, and as many as 11 million patients could be affected.
