Full timeline through 2026
2024 — Black Basta claims vs. BT Conferencing division; segregated server isolation
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. BT Group publicly acknowledged an attempted cyberattack centered on its BT Conferencing business after the Black Basta ransomware group marketed a large corporate data theft narrative. Vendor statements relayed by The Register and Recorded Future emphasized rapid isolation of a limited set of non–live-service infrastructure and ongoing law-enforcement engagement, with debate in coverage between criminal marketing and the company’s containment claims. Exposed categories include Actor-claimed employee and corporate document imagery; BT disputed customer-facing live-service impact in contemporaneous quotes. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the bt-blackbasta-conferencing2024 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
