EDIT – Additional Info as more is known
Ya, I’ve been seeing this pop up in all the new here. I live in Oregon.
Russia blamed in 3..2…1…
Oh they beat you to it. Recent articles refer to The Clop ransomware gang as “Russia Linked”. But interestingly enough if you look at older articles from a year or 2 ago (Clop has been around and in the news the last few years) I do not see “Russia linked” mentioned. All I see are mentions that they speak Russian but the few arrests that have been made, get this, were in Kyiv, Ukraine.
I think the reality is it’s not a state backed organization, if it was it would not be asking for cash. And they seem to be so all over the place and so efficient it’s probably a large group spread around in different parts of the world.
Now the real fun begins when the Federal organizations begin to find out what was taken.
