The 8Base ransomware gang has attacked ANL Packaging. ANL Packaging is an international packaging solutions company. It specializes in providing a wide range of packaging products and services to various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial goods. 8Base posted ANL Packaging to its data leak site on July 13th, claiming to have stolen finance information, personal information, ANL presentations, employment contracts, work regulations, security information, compensation & benefits, and audit documents.Despite a significant increase in activity during the summer of 2023, the 8Base ransomware group has managed to maintain a relatively low profile. This group employs encryption techniques alongside "name-and-shame" tactics to pressure their victims into paying ransoms. 8Base demonstrates an opportunistic approach, targeting victims from diverse industries. However, crucial details regarding their identities, methods, and motivations remain shrouded in mystery. The swift and efficient operations of 8Base suggest that this group is not newly formed but rather an established and mature organization. Based on available information, certain aspects of their current operations bear a striking resemblance to past ransomware activities. The 8Base ransomware group emerged in March 2022, but it experienced a significant surge in activity in June 2023. Describing themselves as "simple pen testers," they operate a leak site that provides victim information through Frequently Asked Questions and Rules sections, along with multiple contact options. Notably, 8Base's communication style shares similarities with another known group called RansomHouse.
