Colonial Pipeline Co. reportedly paid between $4 and $5 million to hackers in order to get its pipeline back up and running. And there is a growing number of cases of outsized payments.

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack has been by many measures the worst to date in the history of cybersecurity, nearly crippling the Southeastern U.S. and causing the pipeline company untold millions in damages.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate that stole data from the Washington, D.C., police department says negotiations over payment have broken down, with it rejecting a $100,000 payment, and it will release sensitive information that could put lives at risk if more money is not offered.

In the wake of recent high-profile cyberattacks, IT experts gathered at MeriTalk’s CDM Central: The Age of Cyber Defenders virtual event on May 12 agreed that the Federal government needs to accelerate innovation when it comes to cybersecurity, and that includes implementing the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program, along with zero trust security concepts.
