The Akira ransomware group reported a significant breach at Apache OpenOffice, stealing an impressive 23GB of sensitive corporate data. The attack, announced on October 29, 2025, involved aggressive double-extortion tactics, with the group stating they would leak the data unless a ransom was paid. This breach raises awareness of the vulnerabilities that even non-profit software foundations face in the current cyber threat landscape.
Apache OpenOffice, a widely used alternative to proprietary office suites, serves millions of users and relies on community support. Although initial reports suggest that public download servers remain uncompromised, the alleged data includes personal employee records such as addresses, Social Security numbers, and financial documents. With the potential for identity theft and phishing due to this data leak, organizations using Apache OpenOffice are urged to monitor their systems closely.
