Acer hacked by ransomware gang demanding $50m ransom | TechRadar

The notorious REvil ransomware gang has reportedly attacked Taiwanese PC vendor Acer, demanding a $50 million ransom of cryptocurrency Monero to decrypt its computers.

Working with a malware intelligence analyst from Malwarebytes, cyber-intelligence news site The Record, was able to track down a portal operated by the REvil gang that clearly spells the ransom, which is reportedly the highest ever demanded by any ransomware operator.
