The hacking group behind the attack on ION Trading UK — the software firm that was struck by a cyberattack earlier this week, upending derivatives trading around the world — says a ransom has been paid.
The announcement came a day before the group, called LockBit, threatened to release stolen files from ION unless the extortion payment was made. An ION representative declined to comment.
