Ransomware 29 October 2021
Ransomware – Illum
Company
Illum
Sector
Retail
Actor
Conti
## Description
Conti published a sample of 36,000 internal files from Illum on their dark web site in October 2021. Illum failed to report the incident to Datatilsynet (GDPR) in a timely manner — they only reported after journalist Henrik Moltke (DR) informed them of the obligation. The company appears to have recovered from a backup taken the day before the attack.
