👉 On Friday, the Funksec ransomware group, known for what some insiders believe is the first strain of GenAI-powered ransomware, took over the historic Sorbonne University in Paris.

🗞 The group posted information about the prestigious university on its dark leaks site on Friday, claiming to have removed 20GB of files from its servers.

📰 While Funksec did not disclose the selling price for the “stolen” university data, the group gave the school’s leadership roughly 12 days to pay an undisclosed ransom demand.

📌 "20GB of data plans and reports, credits [sic] etc, you know this is crazy stuff, searching for your name on the victim's device", the group wrote in broken English.
