"Armada Collective" DDoS Threats Strike Again

There is a current extortion campaign that seems particularly focused in the UK. The threat is to deliver a DDoS attack together with ransomware infections if the victim does not pay a ransom in bitcoins. The ransom starts relatively low at just 1 bitcoin, but increases to 20 bitcoins if not paid within a certain time. The attackers claim to be the Armada Collective.
