WithSecure comment Marriot Data Breach
July 2022 by WithSecure
In light of the news of a further data breach from Marriot, please see comment below from Mehmet Surmeli, Principal Incident Response Consultant, WithSecure:
"Thanks to the research performed in the industry, we know that every ransom payment results in another 100 (approx.) campaigns where more and more organisations are impacted and people’s data is being stolen.
Regardless of the implications to their business and context of why this incident has taken place, I’m glad to see that Marriott hasn’t paid the ransom demand, and we should praise the companies for not financing the threat actors and sponsoring further attacks. I hope they can take the valuable lessons learned from this incident and improve their and others security by sharing this knowledge."
