The renowned ransomware group Ransomed. vc reported a new victim today in the form of the major Japanese telecommunications company NTT Docomo in response to the newly disclosed Sony data leak.
Notably, the statement coincided nearly exactly with the release of additional Sony data leaks that shed some light on the data breach's predecessor.
The largest NTT Docomo is being asked to pay $1,015,000 to the bad actors. The bad guys released the stolen data after Sony declined to fulfill the ransom demands.
It was discovered that if businesses don't pay, hackers will release the data they've stolen, which could result in regulatory penalties that occasionally exceed the ransom.
