It has been reported that Campari Group, the famed Italian beverage vendor behind brands like Campari, Cinzano, and Appleton, has been hit by a ransomware attack and has taken down a large part of its IT network. The attack took place last Sunday, on November 1, and has been linked to the RagnarLocker ransomware gang, according to a copy of the ransom note shared with ZDNet by a malware researcher. The RagnarLocker gang is now trying to extort the company into paying a ransom demand to decrypt its files. But the ransomware group is also threatening to release files it stole from Campari’s network if the company doesn’t pay its ransom demand in a week after the initial intrusion.
