Royal Dutch Shell is the latest corporation to be attacked by the Clop ransomware gang.
The extortionists siphoned sensitive documents from a software system used by the oil giant, and have now leaked online some of the data – notably a selection of workers’ passport and visa scans – to chivy the corporation along to cough up a ransom. The idea being that if the ransom is paid, no more data will be dumped in public.
