On 30 January 2025, Natures Organics disclosed that it had been targeted by the Medusa ransomware‑as‑a‑service operation. The attackers claimed to have exfiltrated approximately 143 gigabytes of the company’s data. Medusa published sample evidence, including employee passport and driver’s licence scans, bank transaction histories, internal communications, confidentiality agreements and payslips. The ransom note demanded US$150,000 to prevent publication or deletion of the stolen data, with an alternative US$10,000 fee to extend the deadline. Natures Organics stated that it became aware of the incident, notified staff and relevant government authorities, and asserted that its clients were not affected. The Medusa group is noted for using living‑off‑the‑land techniques and legitimate remote management tools to evade detection and move laterally within networks. These tactics also allow the threat actors to disable endpoint defences such as Microsoft Defender. The company’s public statement confirmed its cooperation with law enforcement and internal remediation efforts. No further details about the scope of the breach or subsequent actions were provided in the disclosed sources. The incident serves as an example of ransomware targeting Australian organic goods producers.
