Profile
La Piamontesa, also known by its alias La Piamontesa, is an Argentine food company with its headquarters located in Argentina. It operates within the food industry, although the specific product lines or market reach are not detailed in the available sources. The organisation is recognised locally under its name and alias.
On 25 November 2022, La Piamontesa appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group BlackByte, where threat actors asserted they had obtained internal company documents. The actors provided sample files as evidence, which were examined and found to contain no personal data. Despite the claim, the attackers demanded a payment of 150,000 USD in exchange for the alleged deletion of the compromised data. La Piamontesa did not issue any public statement acknowledging the incident, nor did it respond to media or inquirer requests for comment regarding the breach. The lack of acknowledgment left the situation unverified by the company itself.
The incident was first reported by the cybersecurity news outlet databreaches.net in an article titled “Bits-n-Pieces: Trozos y Piezas 17.” A preserved version of the article is accessible via the Wayback Machine at the archived URL https://web.archive.org/web/20241021203556/https://www.databreaches.net/bits-n-pieces-trozos-y-piezas-17/. The URL includes a timestamp indicating the snapshot was captured on 21 October 2024. This archival ensures that the reporting remains accessible even if the original webpage changes or is removed. The incident remains one of the few publicly documented cyber events involving La Piamontesa.
