Morpheus Claims 680 GB Theft From HDFC AMC After VMware Systems Disruption

HDFC Asset Management Company disclosed a cyber incident after its IT administrator detected unusual activity on 16 May and found parts of its on-premises VMware environment inaccessible, including VPN, SFTP, and antivirus management servers. The company told the Bombay High Court that it later received an email from a threat actor calling itself Morpheus, which claimed to have exfiltrated more than 680 GB of critical data; the group subsequently listed the firm as HDFC FUND on its Tor leak site, indicating an active extortion campaign. HDFC AMC said it activated incident-response measures and notified SEBI and stock exchanges after the breach.
