Cactus Ransomware Strikes DRM Arby’s: Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information

The Cactus ransomware group has targeted DRM Arby’s (drmarbys.com) in their latest attack, adding to the list of victims. Founded in 1977 by Dean Johnson, DRM operates 73 Arby’s Restaurants across four states, generating a substantial revenue of $266.6 million. However, this family-owned company now faces a severe breach as the ransomware group claims to have accessed sensitive data, including accounting and payroll documents, personal identifying information, HR records, contracts, corporate correspondence, and even personal folders of employees and executive managers. This breach not only threatens the privacy and security of individuals but also highlights the escalating cybersecurity risks faced by businesses, emphasizing the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard against such attacks.
