Brazil’s Tribunal de Justi..a do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (TJRS) was hit with an REvil ransomware attack yesterday. Employees suddenly found that all of their documents and images were no longer accessible and ransom notes had appeared on their Windows desktops. BleepingComputer was told that the REVil ransomware operation demanded a $5,000,000 ransom to decrypt files and not leak data. In a translated audio recording, a person described the attack as “horrible”” and “”worst thing that ever happened”””
