Double extortion is a form of ransomware attack in which the attacker not only corrupts the victim's data, but also threatens to leak its sensitive information online.
The process whereby a national court with a case including a question of the validity or interpretation of community law can (or if it is a final court of appeal must) refer that specific question to the European Court of Justice for a binding determination.
