Security News > 2020 > October > Enterprise Solutions Provider 'Software AG' Hit by Clop Ransomware
German enterprise solutions giant Software AG revealed last week that it had been targeted by cybercriminals with the Clop ransomware.
Software AG operates across more than 70 countries around the world and it has over 5,000 employees.
Software AG said at the time that it had shut down some internal systems in response to the breach.
They also noted that the sample that hit Software AG checked for the presence of McAfee software and attempted to uninstall it, but it's unclear if the attackers somehow learned that the target was using McAfee products or if this functionality was added to the malware for a different target.
Bleeping Computer has learned from the Clop payment page associated with Software AG that the attackers have asked for more than 2,000 bitcoin, which is roughly $23 million.
