Media communications giant Isentia is reporting that its coffers will be emptied of as much as $6 million in the wake of a ransomware attack last week.

The ransomware attack happened on Oct. 27, after which the Mediaportal was downed, both for customers and staff.

There's no word on which ransomware was behind the attack, or what the initial infection vector was.

The news comes as ransomware attacks continue to crest, particularly in attacks against hospitals, and helped along by tools like an exploit for the Zerologon bug.
