Bombardier Recreational Products hit by RansomEXX gang

The RansomEXX ransomware gang is claiming responsibility for the cyberattack against Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), which was disclosed by the company on August 8, 2022.

RansomEXX listed Bombardier Recreational Products on its leak site, along with almost 30 GB of files allegedly stolen from the firm. The samples include non-disclosure agreements, passports and IDs, material supply agreements, contract renewals, and more.

BRP employs over 20,000 people, counts close to $6 billion in annual sales, and distributes various products in more than 120 countries. In a statement, the company presented the first results of its internal investigation, saying that the attackers breached its systems via a supply-chain attack.
