UCSF Pays Cybercriminals $1.14 Million to Recover Files After Ransomware Attack

Late last week, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) revealed that it paid roughly $1.14 million to cybercriminals to recover data encrypted during a ransomware attack earlier this month.

The incident happened on June 1 and UCSF said that it was able to contain it quickly after discovery, though not before certain systems were affected.
