News Hackers Claim $70 Million Ransomware Attack on TSMC, Hits Supplier Instead

So this 'Ransomware-as-a-Service model (RaaS)' Russian gang is back again ? In UK, they recently demanded $80 million in bitcoin by holding up 'Royal Mail' for ransom. It also stole customer data from UK high street retailer WH Smith.

Some stats. HIVE still tops the list I suppose, but there’s little doubt that LockBit’s leader, nicknamed LockBitSupp, still resides in Russia.

There needs to be a fallback for data getting taken. Like security code for everything that if not updated the data immediately changes to something goofey. Information on number of honeybuckets cleaned last month on TSMC property and weight of amount cleaned. Number of PineTrees applied to attempt to cover scent.

Someone pays these guys 70m and gets a data sheet showing that and wow!
