The Medusa ransomware group has allegedly claimed a cyberattack on Comwave, a Canadian communications giant.
The ransomware actors listed Comwave as its latest victim after a likely attack on May 18, which targeted critical information contained on the company's customer database.
Comwave Networks Inc., claims to be the largest independent communications company in Canada and is renowned for providing internet, network security solutions, and customer support services. Based in the Toronto district of North York and run by president and CEO Yuval Barzakay, Comwave was established in 1999 and serves across Canada. The company also provides some wholesale services in the United States. In 2023, Comwave was acquired by Rogers Communications.
Medusa ransomware actors claimed infiltrating Comwave's systems, and exfiltrating a nearly 274.8 gigabytes of sensitive data.
