Another cyber attack was perused by the Revil ransomware attacker gang that asked the organization to buy back the stolen products and the blueprints while avoiding them leaked on their website before the organization launched the Spring event.

However, the ransomware gang force Apple to pay the ransom before 1st May to prevent the data leaked, and the attacker also said that they are also open to negotiating the sale of large quantity data and other confidential drawings with multiple other brands.

Although, the attackers contact Apple because their business partner, a famous notebook manufacturer named Quanta Computer will be refused to deal with them. Quanta is a Taiwan-based organization that designed and manufacture Apple Watch, Apple Macbook, Apple Macbook Pro, Air, and ODM. The organization has a long list of multiple high-profile clients that include Dell, HP, Alienware, Microsoft, Cisco, Lenovo, and Apple.

According to the number of units sold, Quanta Computer is the world’s second-largest organization that designed and manufacture laptops. Whereas, according to the experts the organization had to pay $50 million on 27th April and $100 after this whole countdown ends.

Meanwhile, the attackers leaked multiple diagrams and blueprints of MacBook components on the Dark Web and there is no confirmation that these are linked to Apple’s new upcoming products.

While negotiating with Revils, they warned that all the blueprints of all the Apple devices are all the confidential data of employees and customers will be leaked on the web and available for sale if the organization did not negotiate and pay the ransom. They also published the schematics on the site where data is leaked.

Since the Revil ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation will also be known for recruiting the affiliates’ data breaches, hijacking unencrypted data, corporate networks, and encrypt devices.

Summering Up

Once the ransom is paid that Revil core developers and other affiliates will transfer the payments and the affiliates generally hold the large share. The Revil has also identified while hacking the high-profile organizations that also deal with Acer ($ million), Asteelflash($ million), and Pierre Fabre ($25 million).

The other security researchers also said that Revil has now targeting high-profile clients and creating high demands while negotiating the price. The Apple or Quanta spokesperson is still not available for any type of comment on this attack.
