SiegedSec, a notorious hacker group, has recently claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack on Atlassian, a software company worth $44 billion. The group has successfully infiltrated the company’s network and is now releasing thousands of employee records, including sensitive information such as email addresses, phone numbers, and names.
Atlassian is currently investigating the incident and has determined that the data compromised by the hackers is linked to the workplace platform, Envoy. Atlassian uses Envoy to manage in-office resources and coordinate various activities. However, the company has clarified that neither product nor customer data was compromised in the attack as it is not accessible through the Envoy application.
According to a recent tweet from Envoy founder Larry Gadea, the company is conducting an investigation into the incident. However, Gadea has stated that there is no indication of a breach in their systems. Instead, the hackers reportedly utilized an API key associated with Atlassian to gain access to the data.
