Summary:

In April 2024, the 8Base ransomware group claimed responsibility for an attack on Lyon Terminal, a major multimodal transport platform in Lyon. The attackers exfiltrated invoices, personal information, and confidential documents before setting a 72-hour deadline for payment. Their demands were made through Bitcoin, and the group’s tactic of data theft combined with encryption is a growing trend in the ransomware landscape.
