Cyberthreat - ransomware.
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.
- Why double extortion is surging
- "... the dramatic surge in this practice stems from an 'unholy alliance' between ransomware makers and initial access brokers – the latter of whom are operating on the dark web and presenting themselves as malicious twins of legitimate software providers."
