This incident follows a series of Acer security breaches that happened over the previous few years. The REvil ransomware gang attacked the computer manufacturer in March 2021, demanding a record-breaking $50,000,000 ransom payment for a decryptor. The hacker group Desorden gained access to Acer’s after-sales systems in India. As a result, over 60GB of data was compromised, including information about thousands of customers, retailer records, and distributors.
