The group known as Rhysida is demanding 100 bitcoin in ransom from the port and the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The company, Tosan, which provides IT services to 45% of the country’s banks, has paid $561,000 worth of bitcoin so far. 

A prolific ransomware operation claims to have stolen 93 gigabytes of data.

The man was extradited to the U.S. this month after being arrested in Georgia in December, prosecutors say.

Court documents reveal Microsoft’s latest move to combat an operation that used fraudulent accounts to skirt CAPTCHA services. 

Researchers say the wallets that received the large bitcoin payment are tied to BlackSuit affiliates. 

The impact of the operation targeting customers of the cloud storage giant continues to grow. 

The reported breach could involve as many as 560 million customer records.

The group known as Scattered Spider is one of the most impactful cybercrime groups working today and has proven elusive to law enforcement so far.  

That attempt was one of multiple “extremely large” ransom demands made by LockBit over the years, authorities said.
