Sel ajal kui möllas GoldenEye (kahe sõbra: Petya ja Mischa krüptoviiruste sõprus ning koostöö), ja teenis "pihtasaanud firmade" käest 300 USD per "pihtasaanud arvuti",
toimus maailmas palju "põhevam rünnak" kus käidi andmete taastamise eest välja 1 miljon dollarit.

Ja kuna eestlaste lemmik, RIA ei julge siiamaani sellest kirjutada, et krüptoviirused ründavad ka Linuxitega arvuteid, siis see pregune peaks üsna sobiv näide olema.

1. koht: Lõuna-Korea
2. "pihtasaanud firma: South Korean web hosting company Nayana

3. rünnakus kasutatud Linuxi Krüptoviirus, nimega: Erebus.
4. "krüptolukku joosti" kokku firma 153 Linuxi serverit, selletõttu "kukkus kokku": over 3,400 business websites

5. Häkkerid nõudisd esialgu: 1,6 miljonit dollarit
6. Pärast edukaid läbirääkimisi "kukkus" see suurusele: 1 miljon dollarit

Lugu ise siis:
Web Hosting Provider Pays $1 Million to Ransomware Attackers
South Korean web hosting company Nayana agreed to pay $1 million in Bitcoin after a ransomware attack hit 153 Linux servers.

The attack took place June 10 and resulted in over 3,400 business websites the company hosts being encrypted. According to the Nayana’s initial announcement, the attacker demanded 550 Bitcoins (over $1.6 million) to decrypt the infected files. Following negotiations, they lowered the ransom demand to 397.6 Bitcoins (around $1.01 million).

The payments, the company announced, will be made in three batches, and the attackers will decrypt the affected servers accordingly. Two payments were already made, and the company is currently in the process of recovering the data from the first two server batches.

The ransomware used in this attack, Trend Micro reveals, was Erebus, a piece of malware that was initially spotted in September 2016 and which was already seen in attacks earlier this year, when it packed Windows User Account Control bypass capabilities.
