SeaChange, Video Delivery Software Solutions Provider Hit By Sodinokibi Ransomware


SeaChange, a leading supplier of video delivery software solutions has been attacked by the authors of Sodinokibi ransomware. Reportedly, the operators have published images of the data they claim to have obtained after encrypting the systems and are threatening the Waltham, Massachusets based company to leak the stolen data.

SeaChange International has offices in Poland and Brazil, it is a remotely managed video solution provider with around 50 million subscribers across the globe. BBC, DISH, COX, DNA, Quickline, RCN, and Starhub are a few names amongst their 200+ video provider customers.

The cybercriminals behind Sodinokibi ransomware have been actively involved in posting illegally obtained data of victims onto their leak website since 2019 and then demanding a ransom for the release of the same. Lately, attackers have increasingly employed this strategy of building pressure on non-paying victims and converting them into a paying one by releasing the stolen data bit by bit, starting from smaller parts.

In this particular case, the attackers created a webpage by the company's name and published the images of the allegedly stolen data on that page, it contained a screenshot of folders on one of the SeaChange's servers targeted by the attackers, a driver's license, insurance certificates and a cover letter for a proposal sent to Pentagon for video-on-demand service. However, the operators did not specify the ransom amount at that time.

While denying to provide further data, Sodinokibi operators said, "Thank you for your interest and your questions, but I really can't answer. We publish confidential information about companies if they ignore us for a long time or decide not to pay. Otherwise, we are not ready to share any information about them in their own interests, including share which companies we have encrypted, how much data we have stolen, etc."
