A threat actor has claimed it stole about 430 GB of data from UK mechanical and electrical services provider MKE Engineering Group after maintaining access for around a week. The forum listing says the material includes financial records, customer and partner data, engineering drawings, test documents, databases and backups. A published sample appears to contain supplier and contact records, but the claim has not been independently confirmed and the nature of any password-related fields remains unverified.
