Everest Hackers Claim Breach at Sweden’s Power Grid

The Everest ransomware group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Svenska kraftnät, Sweden’s state-owned power grid operator. In a statement posted to a leak site, Everest hackers claim breach of the utility’s internal systems and say they have exfiltrated approximately 280 gigabytes of sensitive corporate data. The alleged breach has triggered an investigation, according to The Record, a cybersecurity news outlet owned by Recorded Future.

Svenska kraftnät oversees Sweden’s electricity transmission, making it a critical component of the nation’s energy infrastructure. The nature of the stolen data has not been disclosed, and officials have not confirmed the extent of the impact. Everest hackers claim breach of internal systems, but the company has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the incident.

The Record first reported the claims early this week as cybersecurity experts monitor the situation for further developments. For more details, read the full article at the source below.
