Red Hat Hit by Security Breach; Customer Data Stolen

Allstate has suffered a security breach, with an unknown group claiming to have stolen sensitive customer data. The incident does not impact Allstate's products or services, but customers are being notified.

The attack, allegedly carried out by the Crimson Collective, targeted a GitLab instance used by Allstate's consulting team. The group claims to have copied 570 GB of data, mostly Customer Engagement Reports (CERs).

The method of the attack remains unknown, with investigations ongoing. The attackers have not received a response from Allstate beyond an automated email for submitting security vulnerabilities. The stolen data includes code snippets, internal communication, and business data from over 28,000 internal projects. Allstate assures customers that downloads from official sources remain safe.

Allstate is currently investigating the security incident and has begun contacting affected customers. The company emphasizes that its products and services are unaffected. The Crimson Collective, suspected of the attack, claims to have stolen sensitive data from numerous projects, but Allstate is yet to confirm these claims.
