Switzerland’s Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance (MELANI) today warned of ongoing ransomware attacks targeting the systems of Swiss small, medium-sized, and large companies.

According to the alert issued in collaboration with the Swiss Government Computer Emergency Response Team (GovCERT), the attackers have asked for ransoms ranging from thousands of Swiss Francs to millions — 1 million CHF is just over $1 million.
