A new ransomware gang named 'Money Message' has appeared, targeting victims worldwide and demanding million-dollar ransoms not to leak data and release a decryptor.

The new ransomware was first reported by a victim on the BleepingComputer forums on March 28, 2023, with Zscaler's ThreatLabz soon after sharing information on Twitter.

Currently, the threat actor lists two victims on its extortion site, one of which is an Asian airline with annual revenue close to $1 billion. Additionally, the threat actors claim to have stolen files from the company and include a screenshot of the accessed file system as proof of the breach.

While investigating, BleepingComputer has seen evidence of a potential Money Message breach on a well-known computer hardware vendor. However, we have not been able to independently confirm the attack with the company at this time.
