Ngong Ping 360, a Hong Kong cable car attraction, experienced a ransomware attack resulting in the theft of personal data. The company detected the network irregularities on Thursday and has since alerted authorities. Stolen data includes names and contact information of staff, annual pass holders, suppliers, tenants, and guests on promotional lists. While a ransom demand was made, the operator assures that the compromised network is separate from cable car operations and electronic payment systems, so safety data was unaffected. Ngong Ping 360 has apologized for the inconvenience caused by the data breach.
