The cybercriminal collective R00TK1T has reportedly announced a data breach at L’Oréal on their dark web portal. Known for targeting large corporations, the group now claims to have infiltrated the prominent beauty industry giant. They assert that following the L’Oréal data breach, they gained unauthorized access to vital databases, compromising customer data and sensitive company information.
R00TK1T’s statement, posted on various online platforms, boasts about infiltrating the fortress of L’Oréal, emphasizing their alleged prowess in breaching the company’s defenses.
The group asserts control over the inner workings of the cosmetics and beauty industry giant, leaving the organization’s data vulnerable to potential misuse.
L’Oréal Data Breach Claims; No Evidence Provided
As with previous claims made by R00TK1T, skepticism surrounds the authenticity of the threat. The group has a track record of providing minimal evidence to support their assertions, leading cybersecurity experts to question the credibility of their declarations.
While R00TK1T boldly proclaims the success of the L’Oréal cyberattack, the lack of concrete proof raises doubts about the actual extent of the breach.
Notably, this is not the only company targeted by R00TK1T, as the threat actor also alleges a breach on Qatar Airways, claiming possession of sensitive data related to the airline’s operations.
The group has hinted at potential future data releases unless the affected companies take preventive measures.
The Cyber Express, committed to uncovering the truth behind these cyber threats, reached out to L’Oréal and Qatar Airways for official statements.
However, at the time of writing, no responses have been received from either organization, leaving the claims surrounding the L’Oréal data breach and the alleged Qatar Airways incident unverified.
