Response to media reports about data theft
Over the past days Danish media have
reported stories about a theft of source code involving Netcompany
Denmark.
We can confirm one single incident
involving a simple theft of Netcompany Denmark source code and user
manuals.
We can refute that the incident is a
ransomware attack.
The data theft has not affected
Netcompany or our customer’s operations and services.
We know how the theft has occurred,
the extent of the theft, and that the theft resides around source
code and user manuals for Netcompany tools.
Since the simple theft was discovered,
we have worked in close collaboration with authorities and have
implemented additional mitigating actions to ensure a continued
high level of security in our production systems
landscape.
We have taken necessary precautions
that ensure the stolen files cannot be used to gain unauthorized
access to any system.
In Denmark, Netcompany runs
several government core systems however, the stolen files cannot be
used to gain unauthorised access or compromise these systems in any
way. Nor can the stolen files be used to gain unauthorised access
to production systems.
The stolen files that have
subsequently been leaked originate from the same incident of data
theft of Netcompany source code for Netcompany tools and user
manuals.
There have been media reports about
passwords in the stolen files that can be used to gain access to
Netcompany and customer’s systems and that “...the password
Netcompany123 would grant access to most of the system
environment”. That is not true. “Netcompany123” is not an actual
password but an easily recognizable placeholder that is replaced by
a strong security profile password when the source code is released
into production hence there is no access to any running
systems.
There are no indications whatsoever
that the event of the simple theft is part of a supply chain
attack.
We take this matter very seriously. We
are in close contact with the Danish customers mentioned in the
stolen data and cooperating with the authorities.
