Software AG falls prey to ransomware attack

Posted on October 11, 2020 by Dissent

Earlier this week, Catalin Cimpanu reported

Software AG, one of the largest software companies in the world, has suffered a ransomware attack over the last weekend, and the company has not yet fully recovered from the incident.

A ransomware gang going by the name of “Clop” has breached the company’s internal network on Saturday, October 3, encrypted files, and asked for more than $20 million to provide the decryption key.

Earlier today, after negotiations failed, the Clop gang published screenshots of the company’s data on a website the hackers operate on the dark web (a so-called leak site).

Read more on ZDNet.  The firm confirmed the download on October 8 but has posted no update since then.
