Wow, the damage from that Red Hat GitLab breach seems to be getting worse by the day. Jeez.
The Crimson Collective, the cybercriminal gang claiming responsibility for breaching the repo and stealing over 500GB of data, now seems to be collaborating with other cybercriminal gangs to extort Red Hat.
From the article, the cybercrim alliance:
"threatens to publish a "multi terabyte of data haul of your most sensitive intellectual property" and accuses Red Hat of failing to safeguard what it claims are trade secrets and personal data, invoking GDPR and US state privacy laws. It also reckons Red Hat's doors were kicked in on September 13 – weeks before the company came clean about the break-in."
