Multiple organisations investigating fresh wave of Cl0p breaches.

Multiple organisations investigating fresh wave of Cl0p breaches. Multinational giants such as Philips and Shell may have been affected after the Cl0p cyber extortion gang hacked a popular piece of PLM software. Published: 17 Aug 2026 19:04 A series of prominent organisations including UK fossil fuel giant Shell, Dutch consumer and health tech multinational Philips, and the US' General Electric (GE), are probing security breaches after being 'named and shamed' by the Cl0p/Clop cyber extortion gang. Cl0p, which has a long history of targeting blue chip firms by compromising commonly used enterprise platforms, named all three organisations among close to 50 others in an update to its dark web leak site. All of the victims appear to have been compromised via a critical zero-day flaw in PTC's Windchill PDMLink and FlexPLM product lifecycle management software packages, tracked as CVE-2026-12569. Identified and patched in June and added to Cisa's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (Kev) catalogue shortly thereafter, the flaw becomes exploitable by chaining a pre-authentication information disclosure issue in the FlexPLM WSDL endpoint with a server-side issue in Windchill's login servlet. Ultimately, according to members of the Ransom-ISAC anti-ransomware community, these conditions enabled the threat actors to deploy webshells, achieve unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE), and exfiltrate their victims' data. Ransom-ISAC's Brandon Parsons wrote that Cl0p's campaign seems to have begun on or around 20 July, when the gang starting emailing multiple users at the affected organisations from randomly compromised accounts. Parsons observed: "This extortion approach is consistent with what we observed with the Oracle EBS campaign last year, except for the use of new email addresses." In statements shared with the media, Shell, Philips and GE all confirmed they were in the process of investigating the claims, but none of them named the Cl0p operation specifically. Shell told Reuters it was "working with security teams and relevant experts" on its investigation, while GE said it had "initiated its cyber response protocols and are working to assess the potential issue". A spokesperson for Philips went further, saying: "Philips has identified and contained an attempted cyber security compromise of a specific enterprise server related to internal data." According to Cl0p's unverified claims, the gang has stolen 89GB of data from Shell, 15.5GB from Philips, and 391GB from GE. In Shell's case this information allegedly includes engineering drawings, photos of oil facilities, scans of test projects and other project plans. Cl0p's tactics work. As Ransom-ISAC's analysts observed, Cl0p's activity in this latest wave of breaches strongly echoes previous campaigns conducted by the gang, targeting the likes of Acellion, Oracle, and perhaps most famously Progress Software. Three years on from its infamous attack on Progress' MOVEit file transfer tool, which hit thousands of companies, Cl0p still cleaves to its simple and highly effective 'business' model, foregoing traditional encryption ransomware in favour of compromising widely-used software products to target multiple downstream customers, stealing their data, and exposing it if not paid. CybaVerse chief technology officer (CTO) Simon Phillips said the developing incident had the potential to be another huge data breach along the lines of Cl0p's previous attacks. "Given Cl0p's reputation of launching mass attacks, all organisations showing on the leak site must take steps to investigate these claims. They must monitor for unauthorised access and identify if any data has been exfiltrated from their systems," he said. "Furthermore, any organisation using either PTC Windchill PDMlink or PTC FlexPLM should apply the patches as a priority." Phillips added: "[A] key question this raises is around vulnerabilities in software, and customer organisations continuing to face the financial repercussions when they are exploited by attackers. "As an industry, we need to rethink how we evaluate security and vendors, looking beyond individual vulnerabilities and identifying broader trends. Vendors with recurring vulnerabilities in critical components, such as those found in internet-facing infrastructure, should be flagged as high-risk." * AI is accelerating cyber attacks by criminals and hostile states, with attackers faster, more persistent and increasingly collaborative, say experts speaking at Infosecurity Europe 2026. * Computer Weekly reveals for the first time how French cyber spies hacked EncroChat phones used by organised crime groups. * Authorised payment fraud has moved way beyond being a consumer protection issue, says the Royal United Services Institute.

RTI Activists gets No Details on Tejas Mk1 Production, Uttam AESA, Astra Integration or GE F404 Delays

Home " RTI activists gets no details on Tejas Mk1 production, Uttam AESA, Astra integration or GE F404 delays. A recent Right to Information (RTI) response concerning the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mk1 Tejas programme has declined to provide information on several key issues involving production capacity, weapons integration, radar development and delays affecting the aircraft's powerplant supply. The RTI application, whose response was shared by a Reddit user, sought information on the maximum number of flight-capable LCA Mk1 Tejas aircraft that Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) could deliver at peak production capacity. The applicant also asked about the projected timeline for integrating the indigenous Uttam Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar onto the Tejas Mk1. Defense Industry Discover more India defence updates Aerospace & Defense Air Defence Systems However, the response did not provide the requested timelines or production figures. Instead, the authority stated that questions seeking clarification or asking "How, What, Which, Why, When" are not covered under Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, 2005. It further stated that the information sought was exempt from disclosure under Section 8(1)(a) of the Act. The RTI application also sought projected timelines for integrating Astra Mk1 and Astra Mk2 beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles onto the LCA Mk1 Tejas. These questions were similarly not answered, leaving the current official timeline for these integrations unclear from the response. Another question sought clarification on the nature of the delays affecting the programme, specifically whether persistent software issues, hardware problems, or a combination of both were responsible. The authority again declined to provide an answer. The application also sought details of penalties imposed by HAL on General Electric for delayed deliveries of GE F404-IN20 engines used by the Tejas Mk1A programme. No information regarding any financial penalties or contractual provisions was disclosed. The response is significant because the questions cover some of the most closely watched aspects of the Tejas programme. Production rates, engine availability, radar integration and weapons qualification directly influence the pace at which additional aircraft can be inducted into the Indian Air Force. Indian Air Force The lack of disclosure, however, does not itself establish that software or hardware problems are responsible for current delays, nor does it confirm whether HAL has imposed financial penalties on GE. The RTI response simply provides no substantive answer to those questions. The reference to Section 8(1)(a), which concerns information whose disclosure could prejudicially affect matters including the security, strategic interests and scientific or economic interests of the state, also means that the absence of information should not be interpreted as confirmation of any particular technical or contractual issue.

Battle of the briefs: UP-NS fires back at AGs anti-merger letter.

Battle of the briefs: UP-NS fires back at AGs anti-merger letter. Experts: Opponents' anti-trust claims are conjecture - not proof. · Thursday, August 13, 2026 Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are bringing out the Dream Team. The railroads reached into academia to gather a quartet of former government anti-trust experts in an effort to refute the latest filing by red state Attorneys General urging regulators to reject the proposed merger that would create the first U.S. transcontinental freight railroad. In a nine-page filing submitted Wednesday to the Surface Transportation Board that read like a legal brief complete with citations, the experts cautioned that merger complaints stand as conjecture - and not proof. They offered case histories and academic research supporting previous corporate tie-ups that were also contested on anti-trust grounds, and how opponents use the courts to hinder mergers. The filing this week by the top law enforcement officials from seven Republican states said that the merger of UP (NYSE: UNP) and NS (NYSE: NSC) won't enhance competition as required by STB rules, and will raise costs for shippers and consumers. The experts writing for UP-NS are Alden Abbott, general counsel of the Federal Trade Commission from 2018-2021, now at George Mason University; Tad Lipsky, Jr., deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice Antitrust Division from 1981-1983 and chief antitrust lawyer at Coca-Cola from 1992-2002, also at George Mason, as is Gregory Werden, former DOJ Antitrust Division economist and lawyer; and Mark Whitener, former global executive counsel for competition law and policy for General Electric and deputy director of the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition from 1993-1997, now affiliated with Georgetown University. The hundreds of filings for and against the merger carry no legal weight; STB Chairman Patrick Fuchs has made it clear that the deal will stand on its own merits as evaluated by his agency. Fuchs earlier assembled his own team of data scientists from MIT to break down the numbers, and has fiercely defended the STB's independence and decision-making process. The experts also cited case history showing how opponents of mergers are inherently incentivized to protect their own interests, and not necessarily those of the consumer. "Railroad competitors are not disinterested observers of this transaction; they are commercial rivals that presumably stand to lose traffic if the merged UP-NS offers a superior service product," they wrote. "Their opposition should be understood as advocacy by market participants to protect their bottom line - not as objective evidence of likely harm to shippers or the competitive process. "[S]ingle-line integration," they said, "can create a lower-cost, more efficient service that intensifies overall modal rivalry." Read more articles by Stuart Chirls here.

HAL profit jumps nearly 15% on strong defence execution.

HAL profit jumps nearly 15% on strong defence execution. India's state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) reported a nearly 15% rise in first-quarter profit, supported by strong execution of defence orders and steady progress in project deliveries. The aerospace and defence company posted a June-quarter net profit of ₹15.90 billion ($166.66 million), compared with ₹13.84 billion a year earlier. HAL's revenue from operations increased 14.4% to ₹55.15 billion, while total expenses rose 15.3% to nearly ₹43 billion. Investors responded positively, sending HAL shares up as much as 3% before gains eased, with the stock trading about 1.2% higher after the results. The company is benefiting from growing global demand for military aircraft, missiles, anti-drone systems and other defence equipment amid heightened geopolitical tensions. HAL manufactures aircraft, helicopters, engines, avionics and unmanned aerial vehicles, with its Tejas fighter programme among its key projects. However, the programme has faced delays, partly due to supply-chain issues affecting engine deliveries from U.S. partner General Electric.
