NWO (Dutch Research Council)

The NWO suffered a ransomware attack in February 2021, which forced it to shut down its grant application system. The attackers, using DoppelPaymer ransomware, stole documents from the council's network and published them on their dark web leak site after the NWO refused to pay the ransom. The incident resulted in roughly €4.5 million in damages.
