Exploit: Ransomware

Pacific City Bank: Financial Institution

Risk to Business: 1.623 = Severe

Pacific City Bank, a California-based bank that focuses on the Korean-American community, was rocked by ransomware. The bank was hit by the AVOS Locker ransomware gang last week. On Saturday, September 4, 2021, the ransomware gang added the bank to its leak site and published some screenshots as proof of the hack including a ZIP archive that contains a series of documents allegedly stolen from the bank. The incident is under investigation.

Individual Impact: No information was available at press time to say if employee, customer or consumer financial details or PII was compromised in this incident but since it is a bank that's highly likely.

Customers Impacted: Unknown
