Ragnar Locker Ransomware Gang Takes Out Facebook Ads in Key New Tactic - OODA Loop

CyberNews Briefs

Ragnar Locker group has taken out public Facebook ads, threatening to release stolen data obtained from a ransomware attack against Italian liquor seller Campari. The attack occurred on November 3 and resulted in the theft of 2TB of sensitive data. Ragnar operators are demanding a $15 million ransom be paid in Bitcoin to avoid the release of the data.
