A ransomware attack is hitting schools, businesses and government agencies. Here's what you should know | CNN Business

While the scope of the attack is not yet fully known, officials at the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Thursday that “several federal agencies… have experienced intrusions” and suggested a number of businesses could be impacted as well. Separately, state agencies said late Thursday that millions of people in Louisiana and Oregon had their data compromised in a security breach.

What do we know about the group behind cybersecurity attack? Clop is a Russian ransomware gang known for demanding multimillion dollar payments from victims before publishing data it claims to have hacked. Clop previously said it has “information on hundreds of companies,” according to a dark web posting seen by CNN, and asked for victims to contact them about paying a ransom. It later began listing more alleged victims from the hack on their extortion site on the dark web.
