A malicious actor bypassed the security measures implemented by the company on its sales platform in a recent security incident, and the company has already begun notifying affected users via email. This incident, described by the company as "unauthorized and illegitimate access," led to the theft of sensitive personal data from customers related to their electricity and gas contracts. According to the company's investigation, the malicious actor "had access and could have exfiltrated" contact information, identity documents, and bank account IBANs. Endesa Energía clarifies that access passwords were not compromised.</p>]]></description>

And perhaps they also remember the one that used to be inside Illa Diagonal. These were two of the nine stores the British chain had in Spain since its first establishment in Madrid (1994). M&S abandoned all its operations in the continental market in 2001, when it closed the 38 stores it had on the other side of the La Manga Canal.</p>]]></description>

The attack has been perpetrated with a ransomware - a malicious software that encrypts the victim's documents and demands a ransom to be able to access them again - called PYSA. According to the computer security consultant José Nicolás Castellano, and as the ARA has been able to contrast, the attackers are demanding 60 bitcoins (about three million euros) to release the hijacked files, but UAB sources say they have no record of this because, following the recommendations of the Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia, they have not contacted the attackers and have no intention of paying.</p>]]></description>

According to UAB sources, this could be a ransom attack: cybercriminals restrict access to files on the infected system and request a ransom in order to make them accessible again. </p>]]></description>
