On July 1 2026, Toast detected and contained an intrusion linked to the Clop ransomware group. The attackers exploited a zero‑day vulnerability in PTC’s Windchill and FlexPLM platforms. They deployed a custom web shell that harvested credentials and enabled the exfiltration of files ranging from gigabytes to terabytes. The exfiltrated material included databases, engineering documents and backups. Toast reported that its systems were quickly isolated after the breach was discovered. The company stated that the overall impact of the incident remained minimal. The episode highlighted Toast’s ability to identify and respond to sophisticated cyber threats.
