FULL STORY
======================================================================

A cybercriminal claims to have stolen 20 gigabytes of sensitive data from the 
French tech and consulting giant, Capgemini - but the company is refusing to 
comment so far 

The hacker, alias grep, posted a new thread on the popular dark web forum, 
BreachForums, in which they detailed their loot, which allegedly included 
databases, source code, private keys, credentials, API keys, projects, 
employee data (including names, email addresses, usernames, and password 
hashes). The archive also contains backups, and Capgemini clients internal 
configuration details for cloud infrastructure. 

"They had more data but I decided to exfiltrate only big files, company 
confidential, Terraform, and many more," grep wrote in the thread. The crook 
shared a few samples as well, which included alleged T-Mobile virtual machine 
logs. No word from Capgemini yet 

If this truly is the case, and the files are confirmed legitimate, then this 
data breach could hurt Capgemini quite a lot. 

However so far the organization is silent, and has yet to confirm, or deny, 
the hackers claims. The companys website has no statements, and neither do 
its X or LinkedIn pages. TechRadar Pro has reached out to Capgemini for 
comment and will update the article if we hear back. 

Capgemini provides a range of services including IT consulting, managed 
services, and software development, helping businesses adopt new technologies 
to improve efficiency, operarating in over 50 countries and serves clients 
across various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. 

Last year, it generated more than $24 billion in revenue, and this year it 
won a UK government contract worth up to $750 million. Under the deal, the 
company will run His Majestys Revenue and Customs legacy tax management 
systems until 2029.
