Relatively new on the ransomware scene, Sodinokibi has already made impressive profits for its administrators and affiliates, some victims paying as much as $240,000, while a network infection netted $150,000 on average.
These figures are not surprising when you look at the malware's recent activity. On August 16,
Sodinokibi hit 22 local administrations in Texas and demanded a collective ransom of $2.5 million. It
compromised multiple MSPs (managed service providers) spreading the malware to their customers.
The latest victim is another MSP that offers data backup service to dental practices. The ransom in this case is allegedly $5,000 per client;
hundreds were impacted.
