Leading cosmetics group Pierre Fabre hit with $25 million ransomware attack

Leading French pharmaceutical group Pierre Fabre suffered a REvil ransomware attack where the threat actors initially demanded a $25 million ransom. The attack was brought under control in less than 24 hours. BleepingComputer was recently sent a link for a Tor payment page allegedly from the PierreFabre ransomware attack. As there has been no contact by the victim, and the time limit expired, the REvil ransom has doubled to $50 million. The payment page does not indicate who the victim is, but the sites’s chat screen shows a message from the threat actor stating that they are about to steal the company’s data.
