A ransomware gang has posted a swathe of data belonging to The Village Building Co, including passport and driver’s licence details.
The INC Ransom group first posted about an upcoming leak on its darknet site on 6 October. It included a small selection of files as proof of hack, including the passport and driver’s licence of a senior member of management, alongside a second driver’s licence, a share transfer document, and a profit analysis from a 2021 meeting looking ahead to 2024.
Since this initial post, INC Ransom has now posted a further swathe of data – apparently the full contents of the data breach.
The group has posted 14 separate .RAR archives, each containing data from a different portion of The Village Building Co’s business. The files range in size from 11.72 gigabytes to just shy of 100 kilobytes.
All up, the files total about 30 gigabytes of data and cover the company’s various office locations, strategy and investor relations, invoices, projects and approvals, and budget and insurance documents.
The files currently have zero downloads, most likely due to a misconfiguration error on the leak site. The proof-of-hack files are still readily available, however.
The Village Building Co has worked on housing developments in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, and the ACT. It has built a total of 19,131 “products”, for a revenue of more than $4 billion in sales.
The company’s current developments include three in the ACT, one in Victoria, and another in Queensland.
Cyber Daily reached out to The Village Building Co for comment on 12 October.
