Data center and colocation giant Equinix has been hit with a Netwalker ransomware attack where threat actors are demanding $4.5 million for a decryptor and to prevent the release of stolen data. The ransom note includes a link to a screenshot of allegedly stolen data, including financial information, payroll, accounting, audits, and data center reports. The latest timestamp on the screenshots corroborates the claims that the attack occurred over the Labor Day holiday weekend. The company went public with a statement that they are investigating a security incident that involves ransomware on some of their internal systems.
