Cisco Data Breach - New Ransomware Group Compromised Cisco Internal Network

A significant data breach at Cisco allegedly exposed sensitive credentials, including hashed passwords, from their internal network and domain infrastructure. The leaked data, attributed to the Kraken ransomware group, includes privileged administrator accounts and suggests potential lateral movement within Cisco’s corporate infrastructure. Cybersecurity experts warn of the risks posed by the exposed NTLM hashes and urge immediate countermeasures, including forced password resets and enhanced monitoring.
