Most Impactful Ransomware Attacks of 2023

Ransom demands are not declining, which is made clear by the $70million ransom demanded by Bassterlord following an attack on TSMC. The threat actor, who is affiliated with LockBit, live tweeted the ransomware attack, sharing screenshots of information relating to the company. LockBit posted the attack on their site and stated should the ransom payment not be made the data would be leaked along with published points of entry into the network and password and company logins. TSMC has reported that it has not been breached but rather the systems of one of the IT hardware suppliers, Kinmax Technology, was hacked.
