ATB denies data breach following cyberattack

Company's official reaction to the cyber incident

Serhiy Demchenko, spokesperson for the ATB supermarket chain, provided a comment regarding the recent cyberattack on the company's infrastructure. He emphasised that despite attempts to breach resources, no information was compromised.

«Дійсно, хакерська атака на ресурси компанії, ніяких даних не затронули, бо на ресурсах ніяких персональних даних не утримується. небезпеки не існує» ("Indeed, the cyberattack on the company's resources did not affect any data, as no personal data is held on the resources. There is no danger"), Demchenko stressed.

Context of the incident and the perpetrators' demands

It was previously revealed that hackers had gained access to the ATB website. The perpetrators threatened to publish stolen information publicly if the company did not pay a ransom of $400,000.

However, as the company assures, personal data of clients is not stored on the targeted servers, so there is no threat of such information leaking.
