Crypto Ransomware Leaks to Evolve Bank Customer Data

The customer data of crypto-friendly Evolve Bank was leaked by Lockbit. Lockbit initially threatened to release Federal Reserve data containing US bank secrets, but ended up leaking 33TB of Evolve Bank and Trust data. The leaks included details of enforcement actions imposed by the Federal Reserve on Evolve Bank, as well as insecure and unsound banking practices involved in Evolve Bank's work with fintech. The leaked documents reportedly contained personally identifiable information of end users, such as Social Security numbers, card numbers PAN, telegraphic transfers and settlement documents. Lockbit set a deadline to demand payment of the ransom, which was apparently not paid. Evolve Bank acknowledged the reports in a customer notice and is actively investigating the details of the incident.
