It’s gotten impossible to keep up with all the attacks, but here are some in the news today:

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics in Germany was also hit by an attack that has impaired operations. Their statement and updates. Media coverage. Update of December 15: This attack was claimed by RansomExx threat actors, who have dumped what they claim is more than 70 GB of data.
