Maersk confirmed that an attacker breached a system belonging to a company it previously acquired and stole data, BleepingComputer reported. WhiteArmor claimed responsibility and demanded $5 million, alleging it holds approximately 100 GB from the OCF/LF Logistics platform.

Maersk said the incident was isolated to a local system, with no indication of effects on other Maersk systems or connected customer and partner systems. It expects no operational disruption. The investigation continues, and the company says current evidence indicates no sensitive data has been disclosed.
