*ALPHV’s notification of data exfiltration on the dark web.*

The X (Twitter) feed for FalconFeeds.io, a cybersecurity firm which tracks breaches there noted today that “ALPHV #ransomware group has added PriceSmart to their victim list.”

The hackers claim to have exfiltrated 500GB of customer and employee data from the company. ALPHV, also known as Black Cat, is a recently formed ransomware group which has breached more than 60 organisations in the last month.

Users of the online shopping portals of these companies are encouraged to change their passwords immediately.
