Hackers who breached Western Digital are now asking for a hefty ransom

Cybercriminals who hacked into popular hard drive maker Western Digital earlier this month are now asking for a major payout to prevent leaking terabytes of data they stole in the attack.

In early April, the vendor reported a “network security incident” in which threat actors breached “a number of the Company’s systems”. Other than that, it didn’t give any details, including who the threat actors were, how they got in, or if they stole any sensitive employee, client, or customer data.
