This just came in. I am not convinced this real, so first off, confirmation
that something like this is even possible?

What data would they even steal?

Subject: Request for Comment on Akira Ransomware Claim Involving Apache
OpenOffice
To: <[email protected]>


Hi Team,

This is Waqas from Hackread.com, a London, UK based cybersecurity magazine.
We’re covering a developing story in which the Akira ransomware group has
claimed to have breached Apache OpenOffice and stolen around 23GB of
internal data.

Our report is available here:
https://hackread.com/akira-ransomware-stole-apache-openoffice-data/

Could you please confirm whether Apache Software Foundation is aware of
this claim, and if so, whether there is any indication of unauthorized
access or data compromise within your systems?

If you have an official statement or are planning to release one, I’d
appreciate it if you could share it with us for inclusion in our report.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Waqas
