Ransomware Ruckus: Sarcoma’s Sneaky Strike on Unimicron’s Circuit Boards
The Sarcoma ransomware gang has hit Unimicron, a major PCB manufacturer. Holding 377 GB of SQL files hostage, Sarcoma threatens to leak them if not paid. Despite the looming data dump, Unimicron claims the impact is limited. Sarcoma’s rapid rise since October 2024 has made it a formidable cyber threat.
Hot Take:
Breaking News: Sarcoma, the new kid on the ransomware block, has decided to throw a digital tantrum and target Unimicron, a major player in the PCB world.
