Sodinokibi: The threat group behind the Sodinokibi ransomware already had gained a significant amount of attention following the breach of the law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas, & Sacks. The group then doubled down and threatened to release information on Donald Trump, while also doubling their ransom demand. Following the threats to publish data related to President Donald Trump, the law firm in a statement described the threat as an act of terrorism and suggested that the FBI may have identified it the same way, although there was no official announcement from the FBI to confirm that. The group has since responded to being branded as terrorists. According to the latest statement from the group this decision by law enforcement “will not affect our work in any way.” The group announced that if their ransom demands continue to be refused that they will begin to auction off the law firm’s customer’s data every week on the Darknet auction site Joker Buzz. Along with their threats to Grubman, Shire, Meiselas, & Sacks and their clients, the group posted the “first part” of their data on President Donald Trump. The data on President Trump was posted with a warning that he should buy all of the data before someone else purchases the whole of it to use against him during the upcoming election.
