A company in charge of marketing ‘smart’ parking meters and all kinds of technology used by those who control them in cities around the world has been the victim of a ransomware attack, which also exposed some of its internal files on a website used by cybercriminals. The company is called CivicSmart -from Milwaukee, USA-; it sells parking meters equipped with systems that allow payment to be made from an app installed on the cell phone, but also markets the software and hardware used by the controllers -personnel that control the devices-. The attack was carried out using a ransomware known as Sodinokibi or REvil, and was noticed by the Israeli security company Under the Breach. They discovered that the crackers planned to publish up to 159 gigabytes of CivicStart data, such as employee records, contracts with cities, bank statements or the numbers of credit cards used by parking meter customers.
