Portugal media giant Impresa was crippled by a ransomware attack just hours into 2022. Impresa-owned website Expresso newspaper and television station SIC remain offline Tuesday morning. One of Impresas verified Twitter accounts was hijacked and used to taunt the company publicly. Lapsus$ identified itself as the culprit of the attack by defacing the sites with a ransom note. Neither the company nor the gang has revealed the amount of the extortion payment associated with the incident, which marks the first time the group has attacked an entity in Portugal.”]
