It seems that computer company Acer has been affected by attack ransomware και οι εισβολείς της ζητούν 50 millions dollars.
The REvil ransomware gang demands $ 50 million from Taiwanese computer maker Acer according to sources by Internet. The news is unconfirmed but according to rumors the intruders have taken advantage the vulnerability of Microsoft Exchange to gain access to network the company's.
If true then this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, ransomware claims to date, and it probably was because Acer is a huge company that reported nearly $ 3 billion in profits for the fourth quarter of 2020.
The REvil group responsible for the attack last year hacked Travelex and demanded $6 million. The same group announced on the dark web this week that they have hacked Acer and even provided some images for evidence.
The blackmailers give Acer a deadline of March 28 to pay the ransom otherwise it will leak the stolen data to the web.
In one conversation between REvil and an Acer representative, the hackers offered the company a 20 percent discount if payment was made last Wednesday.
Acer has so far denied that it was a successful ransomware attack.
