Two notorious hacking groups, the Gehenna hacking group and the Everest ransomware group, have separately claimed responsibility for breaching Coca-Cola's networks in a massive cybersecurity attack. The Everest group, which has been in operation since 2020, allegedly stole sensitive internal data regarding Coca-Cola's Middle East operations. In a different attack, Gehenna claims to have hacked Coca-Cola Europacific Partners' Salesforce dashboard, stealing over 23 million records, including CRM data for the period 2016 through 2025. The attack raises concern regarding the disclosure of extremely sensitive business and customer information. The timing of notification by the Everest group is suspicious, especially after their dark web leak website was defaced in April 2025 by hackers who used an enigmatic anti-crime message. This puts into question the authenticity of their claims because ransomware operations have a habit of exaggerating in an effort to scare victims into making payments. Authorities have also warned that although the data obtained by Everest would have catastrophic implications, the Gehenna breach would be more extensive given the number of records leaked. Neither Coca-Cola nor Coca-Cola Europacific Partners has made public the violations, and customers and business associates are in the dark regarding the scope of the attack. The violation may prove to be detrimental to Coca-Cola's future transformation strategy as it continues to push digitization efforts. Experts in security recommend that individuals watch out for company official statements and track updates while taking additional measures to protect sensitive information.
