The Maze Ransomware operators have released an additional 14GB of files that they claim were stolen from one of their victims for not paying a ransomware demand.
In December the Maze Ransomware operators attacked Southwire, a wire and cable manufacturer out of Georgia, and allegedly stole 120GB worth of files before encrypting 878 devices on the network.
