Details from the Leak Site
The primary disclosure on the fog leak site states that Askling Car suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were taken before encryption. The group published a sample of the stolen data and set a deadline for payment. As is typical with these listings, the site does not detail what specific categories of information were taken beyond describing them as internal files. Public records show Askling Car is a physical automobile dealership based in Sweden, meaning customer contracts, repair records, payment details, and employee information are the most likely contents, though the disclosure itself stops short of confirming those specifics.
The fog operators gave the company a short window to negotiate before threatening full publication. At the time of listing, 2.6 GB of compressed data had already been exfiltrated from the dealership’s systems.
