Ridiculous amounts of money wanted for organizations that cannot afford to pay them
A recently new revealed ransomware attack on the Broward County Public Schools district demanded a $40,000,000 payment by its threat actors .
Last month, Florida’s Broward County Public Schools, shut down basically all their IT Systems after suffering from a cyberattack. A ransomware gang known as Conti has claimed responsibility for the attack. After negotiations failed, the threat actors published alleged screenshots of the ransom negotiation from Broward County Public Schools’ attack.
The $40 million ransom in the Broward County Public Schools cyber attack is the second-most largest demand seen to date, where number 1 is from REvil on their attack against Acer, where the attackers demanded $50 million.
