“The data in question was accessed from a third-party platform unrelated to BlackBerry and appears to be from 2015-2018, predating BlackBerry’s acquisition of the Cylance product portfolio.”
Sp1d3r wants $750,000 for 34 million Cylance emails and personal records on customers, employees and partners. BlackBerry paid $1.4 billion for Cylance in 2019 and now says the stolen data predates its ownership. A security vendor’s defence is that the leak is old and sat on somebody else’s platform. That is the exact excuse Cylance sells protection against.
