Cybersecurity firm, CloudSEK is looking deeper into the leaked data from NATO, an attack claimed by the SiegedSec threat actors. SiegedSec threat actors, who announced this attack on a Telegram group, claim to not be a state-sponsored group. Instead, their attacks are based on 'hacktivism' or 'just for fun'.
This attack on NATO has reportedly compromised 845MB of sensitive information from the organization, impacting 31 nations. NATO is now investigating the SiegedSec claims and is working together with firms to strengthen their cybersecurity efforts so this kind of attack will not be replicated.
