The Qilin ransomware group has allegedly breached and leaked data from Wouters France, a significant trading company in the European food supply chain. Based in France, Wouters France specializes in the wholesale supply of fruits and vegetables to both its home country and the broader European Union. The company plays a crucial role in the distribution network, managing a vast database of agricultural suppliers and commercial buyers, making it a key player in the sector.
Following the alleged cyberattack, the Qilin group has published a significant cache of data allegedly stolen from the company’s systems. The threat actor claims the archive contains comprehensive details on all purchases and sales, potentially exposing sensitive business information such as price markups and profit margins. Screenshots of the leaked files suggest the data dump is extensive and includes a wide range of sensitive corporate and personal information.
The leaked data allegedly includes:
- Invoices and financial documents
- Detailed lists of suppliers and customers with addresses
- Employee and client contact information, including names, phone numbers, and email addresses
- Internal spreadsheets detailing logistics, product weights, and sales revenue
- Documents outlining profit margins on specific products
