A Russian-language ransomware group hacks a Greek logistics firm, exposes customer personal data.
According to Ukrainian-media reporting, the Russian-language ransomware group known as Clop claimed responsibility for a cyber-attack on the Greek logistics company in February 2025, later notifying thousands of Greek customers of a personal-data leak (names, phone numbers, addresses, tax IDs) following the breach. The target is in the logistics/transport sector rather than purely government networks, but because the firm is part of the supply-chain infrastructure the incident links into hybrid-warfare threat logic (disruption of logistics, exposure of personal data, possible preparation for supply-chain sabotage). The breach exploits Greece’s internal infrastructure (data systems of transport/logistics) rather than a border or maritime front. The dynamics indicate how adversaries linked to Russia may target secondary (logistics/transport) infrastructure in allied countries, not just obvious government or military systems, aiming to increase vulnerability, raise cost of defence readiness, and impose uncertainty. While the firm responded that no financial data were leaked and Greek data-protection authorities were notified, the incident still qualifies as a hybrid-warfare style operation due to its targeting of supply-chain logistics and critical infrastructure in the broad sense.
