Toll Group hit by a ransomware attack in Melbourne, Australia

Summary:

In January 2020, Melbourne (Australia) based Toll Group experienced a ransomware attack on their corporate server by the hack group Nefilim. The hackers used Mailto ransomware to encrypt the stolen data and decode the files so that they are useless. The goal of the hackers was clearly financial gain. Investigations shows that a total of 220 Gigabytes of data was stolen from one specific server. The data contains information about past- and present Toll Group employees. The firm refused to “settle” with the group.
