NEW: Despite a global outcry about the Colonial Pipeline attack, DarkSide has not stopped its hacking activity. The hackers have posted to the dark web names of three new companies it claims to have attacked. One is in the US, in Illinois, one in Brazil and one in the UK.
The 3 new names were posted over the past 24 hours. CNBC has reached out to the companies reportedly affected and will report more as we have it.
Victim #1: technology services reseller. DarkSide claims to have encrypted more than 600 GBs of data.
Victim #2: Brazilian reseller of renewable energy products. DarkSide claims more than 400 GBs of data encrypted.
Victim #3: UK construction company. More than 900 GBs encrypted.
Victim #2: Brazilian reseller of renewable energy products. DarkSide claims more than 400 GBs of data encrypted.
Victim #3: UK construction company. More than 900 GBs encrypted.
These are claims posted to the dark web by a criminal gang calling itself DarkSide, so take it all with a grain of salt for now. But what is clear is they are undeterred by the huge global response to the Colonial hack - despite their weird semi apology earlier this week.
