French production and distribution firm Banijay Group SAS was hit earlier this month by a DoppelPaymer ransomware attack and had sensitive information stolen by the ransomware operators during the incident. The group is behind some of the biggest global entertainment brands including MasterChef, Survivor, Big Brother, The Kardashians, Mr. Bean, Black Mirror, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and Deal or No Deal among many others. The gang is known for asking large ransoms since they have been known to encrypt hundreds of thousands of devices on their victims’ networks.
