South Korean web hosting company Nayana was targeted by the variant of the Erebus ransomware attack.
The attackers first requested 550 bitcoin (about US$1.6 million) in this case, but after negotiating with the business, they dropped their demand to 397.6 bitcoin (about US$1 million).
In order to continue regular business activities, the corporation chose to pay the ransom.
They advised keeping security defenses up to date to reduce the risk of ransomware.
