A dovetail drawer manufacturer has been hit by a ransonware attack by the well-known hacker group, Akira Ransomware Group.

According to The Cyber Express publication, Western Dovetail, a Vallejo, California-based custom manufacturer of dovetail drawers, drawer dividers,  and other components, was hit by the attack on May 30. The attack has not been independently verified by Woodworking Network

The Akira ransomware group, reported Cyber Express, took to online forums to announce their latest Western Dovetail data breach, proclaiming the availability of “a few GB of their data” for public access. "The compromised data reportedly includes sensitive employee information such as addresses, emails, phone numbers, and even details of relatives, along with tax and payment information, and a snippet of medical records," the publication wrote. 

The news was not reported on Western Dovetail's website, and the site appears to be operating normally. 

Western Dovetail was founded 1993 by Maxfield Hunter, the president and CEO, with support from his father George Hunter, and his brother, Josh Hunter. Max and Josh both learned woodworking at an early age from their father, George, who has contributed a lifetime of woodworking knowledge and experience to the company.
