2023: Corporate data theft over 2 years
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Mediconglomerate said in late February 2023 that hackers had stolen the company's corporate data for 2 years without stopping. The relevant information was disclosed in one of the letters addressed to employees.
In January 2023, News Corp specialists discovered that unknown hackers compromised the company's internal systems in 2021 and all this time had access to them.
News Corp's notification letter mentions that employee data compromised by the hacker attack may have included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, financial account information, medical information and employee health insurance data.
News Corp reported that the company has not yet received reports that hackers used News Corp's internal data to commit fraud, steal personal information of employees or commit other malicious actions. Since cybercriminals have had access to this data for a long time, perhaps they no longer plan to carry out such attacks. However, the company did not disclose details about what documents and emails the hackers were able to access, nor did it say whether they specifically sought information related to News Corp.'s reporting.
News Corp is an international media holding. The company is controlled by Rupert Murdoch, who owned 20th Century Fox, Fox News, satellite DTH operators BSkyB, Sky Deutschland, Sky Italia, Foxtel, Dow Jones & Company news agency, and The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Sun and New York Post.[1]
