Cannabis company Stiiizy says hackers accessed customers’ ID documents


A ransomware gang took credit for the breach, claiming to have stolen over 400,000 government-issued identity documents from customers.

Stiiizy hasn’t confirmed or described the nature of the incident, but Texas-based cybersecurity startup Halcyon AI said in a November blog post that the cannabis operator had been the target of a ransomware attack. The Everest ransomware group claimed credit for the cyberattack, according to Halcyon, which said the gang had stolen the personal information, including identification documents, of more than 420,000 Stiiizy customers. In a post on its dark web leak site, which TechCrunch has seen, Everest claims to have published the data stolen from Stiiizy after the company “ignored” its ransom demands.
