Accenture, ransomware, and ambulance chasers
The Lockbit 2.0 ransomware gang have been stepping up their game over the last year, and yesterday they claimed a big scalp: Accenture. With a haul of 6TB of data, and clearly wanting to pile on the pressure for a pay-out, the Lockbit crew went public and gave Accenture only 7 hours to pay up, instead of the usual couple of days.
