General Electric, Philips, and Shell Investigate Alleged Breaches

General Electric, Philips, and Shell Investigate Alleged Breaches 🚨

General Electric, Philips, and Shell are each investigating claims of data theft by the Clop ransomware gang. Clop claims to have stolen project plans, photos of facilities, engineering drawings, diagrams, blueprints, software backups, and more.

Philips stated, “Philips has identified and contained an attempted cybersecurity compromise of a specific enterprise server related to internal data. This has no impact on customer environments.” A GE spokesperson mentioned that the company is “working to assess the potential issue.” Shell also commented, “We are working with our security teams and relevant experts to investigate.”

Clop listed these companies along with 40 other alleged victims that were likely breached via a critical remote code execution flaw (CVE-2026-12569) affecting Internet-exposed PTC Windchill and PTC FlexPLM instances. The flaw was patched in June, and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) noted that ransomware gangs were exploiting this vulnerability.
