Full timeline through 2026

2022 — Pandora ransomware claims against German automotive subsidiary

Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. Toyota-tier supplier DENSO became a headline automotive victim when the Pandora ransomware cluster—analyzed by researchers as evolution of the prior Rook/Babuk lineage—claimed theft from Denso Automotive Deutschland operations with roughly terabyte-scale exfiltration marketing. Parallel late-2021 reporting had already tied a North American facility outage to Rook, making Denso a recurring case study in sequential automotive supply-chain extortion waves. Exposed categories include Actor-branded engineering and corporate stores—no standardized public individual count. No attested victim count is published for this row yet.
