The REvil ransomware gang has mysteriously removed Apple's schematics from their data leak site after privately warning Quanta that they would leak drawings for the new iPad and new Apple logos.
Earlier this month, the ransomware gang conducted an attack on Quanta, a Taiwan-based original design manufacturer that helps manufacture the Apple Watch, Apple Macbook Air, and the Apple Macbook Pro.
After not receiving a ransom payment from Quanta, which had a starting price of $50 million, REvil began posting schematics for Apple Macbooks on their data leak site.
REvil is not known for being compassionate or giving up very easily, so it was a surprise to learn today that the ransomware gang removed the Quanta leak page, including Apple schematics and drawings, from their data leak site.
BleepingComputer has since seen a new private chat created between REvil and Quanta four days ago.
REvil has since warned Quanta that they will begin to publish drawings for the "New iPad, new Apple logos" if they do not receive a response from Quanta.
