The potential disclosure of such information can have devastating consequences for both the individuals involved and the company. Personal data like names, surnames, and contact information can be used for fraudulent activities, identity theft, and other forms of cybercrime. Additionally, sensitive corporate information can expose Nokia to competitive risks and undermine the trust of customers and business partners.

Conclusion

The attack on Nokia, claimed by the malicious actor 888, is a clear wake-up call for all companies regarding the vulnerability of their data.

As is our practice, we always leave room for a statement from the company should they wish to provide updates on the matter. We will be happy to publish such information with a specific article highlighting the issue.
