10 Apr Security Report – 10 Apr 2026
In an era of relentless cyberattacks, infrastructure complexity and rising client expectations, simply having backups is no longer enough. Backups may provide a sense of security, but they don’t guarantee recovery. What matters is whether those backups are verified, reliable and recoverable when it matters most. This is where backup verification becomes mission-critical. It’s the difference between assuming your clients are protected and proving they actually are. Datto is raising the bar on cyber resilience with AI-powered screenshot verification — a breakthrough capability that brings clarity, accuracy and confidence to the verification process.
Recent Breaches
Japan – Nissan – Automotive
Exploit: Ransomware & Malware
Risk to Business: Moderate: The ransomware group Everest revealed new details about its breach of the automobile giant Nissan, including alleged negotiation logs, escalating pressure on the company to pay a ransom. In January 2026, the group threatened to leak 900 GB of Nissan’s internal data unless a ransom was paid, giving the company five days to respond. With no payment made, the attackers have now released additional details about the breach, including information related to their negotiations with the company. The group claims to possess daily full database dumps spanning six years, including customer data from Nissan Financial Services, repair records, dealer employee information, wholesale invoices and internal business reports.
United States – Hasbro – Media, Sports & Entertainment
Exploit: Hacking
Risk to Business: Moderate: American toy and entertainment giant Hasbro has been forced to take some systems offline following a cyberattack and warned it may take several weeks to fully resolve the incident. Hasbro, which owns major brands such as Transformers, Peppa Pig, Nerf and Dungeons & Dragons, detected the intrusion on March 28 and took affected systems offline as a precaution. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, the company said it has activated business continuity plans to continue taking orders, shipping products and maintaining key operations during the disruption. The company has not publicly disclosed the nature of the attack or confirmed whether it has received any communication from the threat actors, including potential ransom demands.
