Probably, but the message said if the company didn’t pay the data would be “auctioned off on the dark web.”…
I dunno the liklihood of that actually happening but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible… After all, they have the key to decrypt it and no reason to assume they didn’t also have the files… Something was hitting cpu and network usage to 100% for several days across several locations… It was a bad time. It’s probably more likely a feint to just install crypto bs on servers while IT is distracted, but still I have no reason to believe it wasn’t possible.
