"Ragnar Locker Ransomware Gang Takes Out Facebook Ads in Key New Tactic"

Researchers have discovered that following a ransomware attack against Italian liquor conglomerate Campari on November 3rd, the Ragnar Locker group has created Facebook ads threatening to release stolen data to add additional pressure on its latest high-profile victim to pay the ransom.  The Campari Group is behind many global brands, including SKYY, Grand Marnier, and Wild Turkey.  The Facebook ads threaten to release the 2TB of sensitive data stolen during the ransomware attack unless the $15 million ransom is paid in Bitcoin.  This is a new spin on the double-extortion ransomware tactic.
