New targeted ransomware called Darkside demands million dollar ransoms

A new ransomware operation named DarkSide began attacking organizations earlier this month with customized attacks that have already earned them million-dollar payouts.

Starting around August 10th, 2020, the new ransomware operation began performing targeted attacks against numerous companies.

DarkSide states that they only target companies that can pay the specified ransom as they do not "want to kill your business."

From victims seen by BleepingComputer, DarkSide's ransom demands range from $200,000 to $2,000,000. These numbers can likely be more or less depending on the victim.
