South Korean Hosting Firm Pays Record-Shattering $1 Million Ransom Erebus Ransomware Gang Hits Pay Dirt After Encrypting Outdated Linux Servers
South Korean web hosting firm Nayana has agreed to pay its attackers a record-shattering $1 million to unlock servers encrypted by ransomware.


The web host was hit June 10 by the ransomware attack, at 1:30 a.m. local time, leading to 153 of the company's Linux servers being forcibly encrypted. The company says it immediately reported the attack to authorities and launched an investigation, and was initially hopeful government cybersecurity experts might be able to crack the ransomware crypto.
