A ransomware operation known as ‘Clop’ is applying maximum pressure on victims by emailing their customers to demand a ransom payment to protect their privacy. A common tactic used by ransomware operations is to steal unencrypted data before encrypting a victim’s network. This data is then used in a double-extortion tactic where they threaten to release the data if a ransom is not paid. In an email seen by BleepignComputer, Clop is now using the same tactic to the customers of an online maternity clothing store, which will not be naming.
