The Clop ransomware gang started to extort victims of its Cleo data theft attacks and announced on its dark web portal that 66 companies have 48 hours to respond to the demands.

The cybercriminals announced that they are contacting those companies directly to provide links to a secure chat channel for conducting ransom payment negotiations. They also provided email addresses where victims can reach out themselves.

In the notification on their leak site, Clop lists 66 partial names of companies that did not engage the hackers for negotiations. If these companies continue to ignore, Clop threatens to disclose their full name in 48 hours.
