Bond ransom ransomware DoppelPaymer claimed he stole the KMA system. Records also show that the perpetrator seized Hyundai Motor America, the parent company of Kia Motors, but there is no clear evidence to prove this. The group created a Tor page in which the victim claimed to have stolen "a lot of data" and threatened to release the data within two to three weeks if the KMA did not pay the ransom.
