A popular open source developer has revealed that hackers stole its codebase and tried to blackmail the firm into paying a ransom.<\/p>\n

It said in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) that an \u201cunauthorized party\u201d managed to obtain a token, giving them access to the firm\u2019s GitHub environment\u00a0and enabling them to download its source code.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur investigation has determined that no customer data or personal\u00a0 information was accessed during this incident, and we have found no evidence of impact to customer systems or operations,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe immediately initiated forensic analysis and we believe we\u2019ve identified the source of the credential leak.\u00a0 We have since invalidated the compromised credentials and implemented additional security measures to further secure our environment against unauthorized access.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grafana Labs added that the threat actors demanded payment from the firm in order to prevent them releasing the codebase.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on our operational experience and the published stance of the FBI, which notes that \u2018paying a ransom doesn’t guarantee you or your organization will get any data back\u2019 and only \u2018offers an incentive for others to get involved in this type of illegal activity,\u2019 we\u2019ve determined the appropriate path forward is to not pay the ransom,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n

The firm has promised to share more about how the breach occurred, although reports suggest a relatively new extortion gang known as \u201cCoinbaseCartel\u201d was the culprit.<\/p>\n

Grafana Labs claims to have over 7000 global customers, including\u00a0tech giants such as Anthropic, NVIDIA, Salesforce\u00a0and Microsoft.<\/p>\n
