Cult videogame company Capcom pays a big round $0.00 to ransomware crooks

Japanese video game company Capcom has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The company suffered a ransomware attack earlier this month, apparently at the hands of the Ragnar Locker gang. The criminals demanded $11,000,000 in cryptocurrency in return for two things: A decryptor to recover files scrambled in the attack. A promise not to reveal corporate data stolen before the files were scrambled. But the crooks arent really promising anything. Instead theyre just saying that they definitely will leak them if they get paid. Capcom also made a rather open-ended admission that it lost sales data, business partner information, sales documents, development documents, etc.”]
