New Zealand retirement and financial strategies provider Staircase appears to have taken a hit from cyber criminals using the Windows NetWalker ransomware.

The attackers have listed a number of data files on their site on the dark web, presumably taken while they were inside the Staircase systems, as proof of their attack.

At the moment, Staircase has been given a little more than 12 days by the attackers before they make good on a threat to publish the actual data online.
