TechCrunch: Many feared that the 2024 election would be affected, and perhaps decided, by AI-generated disinformation. While there was some to be found, it was far less than anticipated. But don’t let that fool you: The disinfo threat is real — you’re just not the target.

The Target: Schneider Electric is a French multinational company that manufactures energy and automation products ranging from household electrical components found in big box stores to enterprise-level industrial control and building automation products.
The Take: The threat actors claim that the stolen data includes 75,000 unique email addresses and full names for Schneider Electric employees and customers.
The Vector: The threat actor said they breached Schneider Electric's Jira server using exposed credentials. Once they gained access, they claimed to use a MiniOrange REST API to scrape 400k rows of user data.
