Major Japanese global optical products manufacturer Hoya Corporation was demanded by the Hunters International ransomware-as-a-service operation to pay $10 million to prevent exposure of data stolen from a cyberattack initially disclosed last week, reports BleepingComputer. Such a demand, which could no longer be subject to negotiations for a discount, should be paid by Hoya in exchange for a decryption key for the 2TB of data including 1.7 million files purportedly exfiltrated from its systems, according to Hunters International.
