The Everest ransomware group has taken responsibility for a data breach involving Polycom, a legacy communications brand now under HP Inc. The group claims to have stolen around 90GB of internal data, primarily from older Polycom engineering systems that predate HP's acquisition of the company in 2022. Screenshots released by Everest show access to internal file directories, engineering build environments, and technical documentation related to Polycom's conferencing platforms, but do not reveal any sensitive customer data. The filenames in the screenshots date back to 2017-2019, suggesting that the compromised data comes from legacy systems that might not be active anymore. There is no evidence that HP's current production systems or customer services have been impacted by this breach. As of the latest updates, HP Inc. has not confirmed the breach nor commented on Everest's claims, which remain unverified. Everest ransomware has gained notoriety for targeting high-profile organizations, including McDonald’s India and Nissan, and has continued its activity into 2026. Hackread reached out to HP for comments on the situation, but as of now, there has been no substantive response. The ongoing situation highlights the challenges companies face in securing legacy systems after acquisitions.
