You will receive a BTC address for payment.” This was the daunting message notifying the employees at Mitsubishi Canada Aerospace after a ransomware attack took hold of their network. Reports state that the company’s manufacturing capabilities are unaffected thus far, however, the company’s facilities have been without internet service since the attack.
