UC San Francisco pays $1.14 million for ransomware decryptor

The University of California San Francisco says it paid $1.14 million to the Netwalker ransomware operators who successfully breached the UCSF School of Medicine s IT network, stealing data and encrypting systems. On June 3, Netwalker said in a post published on its data leak site that it hacked into UCSF’s network, publishing some of the stolen files during the breach. The university says that the ongoing investigation hasn’t discovered any hints pointing at patient medical records having been exposed during the incident.
