Grafana Labs, the company behind the open-source monitoring and visualization tool Grafana, says hackers accessed and stole its codebase and later threatened to publish the source code unless it received a ransom. In its disclosure, the company states that the attackers exfiltrated information and demanded payment to prevent release. Grafana Labs says it does not plan to pay and points to guidance from the FBI, according to one report. The hackers are described as targeting material that is already open source in nature, with the company arguing the extortion threat is aimed at releasing code that is publicly available while still attempting to extract money. The reports also characterize the incident as part of a broader pattern of extortion activity affecting software and tech organizations. Grafana Labs does not indicate that any payment has been made, and it frames the response as a refusal to comply with the attackers’ demands while assessing the situation.
