Clinical Diagnostics paid a ransom to prevent the release of patient data by Nova, who had exfiltrated data during a ransomware attack. The firm held sensitive information on 485,000 women involved in a cervical cancer screening program. After the payment, Nova warned the firm that breaking the deal would have consequences, stating they would leak the data in 10 days due to police involvement. Nova's communication created confusion as it switched languages, emphasizing priority for direct negotiation with the company regarding payment to avoid data leaks.
As you know, we are usually open to dialogue, I focus exclusively on attacks - I am the one who attacked your company, As president of Nova, I demand your appearance to discuss the situation, I did not negotiate with you, but I am aware of your low offer for the task force, I agreed to this price because there were no signs of police intervention.
Nova seemed to be saying they would leak the data in 10 days because the company had contacted the police. However, understanding their English is difficult, and there may have been some misunderstanding.
