Ransomware operations are constantly evolving their tactics to pressure victims to pay. For example, this week, we saw a new extortion tactic come into play with the creation of dedicated websites to extort victims with searchable data.
The new extortion tactic was introduced by the ALPHV gang, aka BlackCat, who created a searchable, clearweb site that contained the stolen data for employees and hotel guests for a particular victim.
