Logitech Data Breach Confirmed After Clop Ransomware Attack
▼ Summary
– Logitech confirmed a data breach after the Clop extortion gang claimed responsibility and leaked nearly 1.8 TB of stolen data.
– The breach did not impact Logitech’s products, business operations, or manufacturing, and no sensitive information like credit card details was accessed.
– Data stolen includes limited information about employees, consumers, customers, and suppliers, but not national IDs or financial data stored elsewhere.
– The attack exploited a third-party zero-day vulnerability, which was patched promptly, and involved an Oracle E-Business Suite flaw tracked as CVE-2025-61882.
– Clop has a history of using zero-day exploits in data theft attacks, with other affected organizations including Harvard, Envoy Air, and The Washington Post.
The global technology firm Logitech has officially acknowledged a significant data breach following a cyberattack attributed to the Clop ransomware group. This incident, which involved the theft of information from Oracle E-Business Suite systems, was disclosed by the company in a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Logitech International S.A., a prominent Swiss manufacturer known for its computer peripherals, gaming gear, and smart home devices, reported the security event in an 8-K form. The company stated that the incident involved the unauthorized removal of data but emphasized that its product offerings, operational capabilities, and manufacturing processes remained unaffected.
Upon discovering the breach, Logitech immediately launched an investigation and response effort with support from top-tier external cybersecurity specialists. The company believes the compromised information consists of limited details concerning employees, consumers, customers, and suppliers. Importantly, Logitech clarified that sensitive data like national identification numbers and credit card information remained secure, as such information was not housed within the affected systems.
According to the company’s statement, the breach resulted from a third-party zero-day vulnerability that was promptly addressed once a patch became available. This explanation follows Clop’s addition of Logitech to its extortion website last week, where the group published approximately 1.8 terabytes of data allegedly stolen from the company.
Although Logitech did not identify the specific software vendor involved, security experts have linked the incident to an Oracle zero-day vulnerability that the Clop gang exploited during July’s widespread data theft campaign. Last month, cybersecurity firms Mandiant and Google began monitoring a new extortion operation where multiple organizations received emails from Clop claiming to have stolen sensitive data from their Oracle E-Business Suite implementations.
These threatening communications warned recipients that their stolen information would be publicly released unless ransom payments were made. Shortly after these events unfolded, Oracle confirmed a new zero-day vulnerability in its E-Business Suite, designated as CVE-2025-61882, and released an emergency update to resolve the security flaw.
The Clop extortion group has established a notorious reputation for leveraging zero-day vulnerabilities in large-scale data theft operations. Other notable organizations impacted by the 2025 Oracle E-Business Suite attacks include Harvard University, Envoy Air, and The Washington Post. Media outlets have reached out to Logitech for additional comments regarding the breach and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
