– Logitech patched the vulnerability after the software vendor released the fix and does not expect the breach to significantly impact its finances or operations.
– The Cl0p cyber extortion gang claimed responsibility for the breach, linking it to Oracle E-Business Suite vulnerabilities exploited earlier this year.
– Logitech’s cybersecurity insurance is expected to cover costs related to the incident, including investigations, legal actions, and potential regulatory fines.
Electronics giant Logitech has confirmed a significant data breach affecting its internal systems, stemming from a zero-day vulnerability in a third-party software platform. The company, known for its computer peripherals, disclosed the incident in regulatory filings, noting that an unauthorized party copied certain data. Logitech moved quickly to patch the vulnerability after the software vendor released a fix.
According to the company’s statement, the stolen information likely covers details about employees, consumers, customers, and suppliers. Logitech emphasized that sensitive personal data, such as national ID numbers or credit card details, was not stored in the affected IT system. The firm does not anticipate the breach having a major financial or operational impact, adding that costs linked to incident response, forensic analysis, business interruptions, legal actions, and regulatory fines may be covered in whole or part by its cybersecurity insurance.

Although Logitech did not publicly name the third-party software involved or specify when the intrusion occurred, the cyber extortion group Cl0p has since claimed responsibility. Cl0p updated its dark web leak site last week, listing Logitech among its victims. Other organizations, including Harvard University and The Washington Post, also appeared on the list and have acknowledged recent intrusions.
This wave of attacks appears connected to vulnerabilities in Oracle E-Business Suite, including at least one zero-day tracked as CVE-2025-61882, and possibly another. It remains unclear whether the attackers demanded a ransom from Logitech to prevent the stolen data from being published or sold.
