The Week in Ransomware – April 9th 2021 – Massive ransom demands

Ransomware attacks continue over the past two weeks with a continuation of the massive initial ransom demands we have seen recently. Attacks against Asteelflash, the Broward County Public Schools, Applus Technologies, Pierre Fabre, and Harris Federation, with many of the attack’s initial ransoms ranging between $24 – $40 million. The Clop ransomware gang leaked the data for Stanford Medicine, University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), and the University of California. The attack was particularly disruptive as it prevented emissions testing in eight US states.
