In December 2024, BT Group's BT Conferencing division experienced a ransomware attack by the Black Basta group. The attackers claimed to have stolen 500GB of sensitive data, including financial documents and personal information. In response, BT swiftly isolated the affected servers to contain the breach. A company spokesperson stated that the incident was confined to specific elements of the platform, which were rapidly taken offline and isolated. The attack did not disrupt live conferencing services or other BT operations. BT continues to investigate the breach and is collaborating with regulatory and law enforcement agencies. The Black Basta group has threatened to leak the stolen data if their demands are not met, underscoring the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures.
