Case Study: MOVEit Data Breach (2023)
In May 2023, Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer file-sharing tool was exploited by the CIOp
ransomware group, leading to one of the largest data breaches of the year. The attackers exploited
a zero-day vulnerability, allowing them to exfiltrate sensitive data from government agencies,
businesses, and financial institutions.
The breach impacted hundreds of organisations, including Shell, British Airways, U.S. Department
of Energy, and multiple banks, exposing personal data, financial records, and corporate documents.
The attack underscored vulnerabilities in third-party file transfer systems, regulatory challenges, and
the growing risk of supply chain cyber threats.
Your task is to analyse the MOVEit breach from a cyber forensic perspective and develop a detailed
response and mitigation plan.
