Update of April 23: A sharp reader pointed out that Cegos Group never actually declared this a ransomware attack, so my headline and first sentence either jumped the gun or are wrong. I have emailed Cegos to ask them if they will clarify and will update this if a response is received. 

Cegos Group, a distance learning and training provider, was hit with a ransomware attack on April 15.  The firm posted a notice on their web site on April 20.
