Does REvil's Ransomware Attack on Apple Signal a New Chapter in Cyber Extortion?

At least 15 screenshots of stolen Apple data of upcoming Macbooks were leaked on the day the company unfurled its new line of iPads and iMacs. Turns out the REvil ransomware gang breached a Taiwan-based supplier of Apple and stole data for which they are now demanding $50 million. The event triggered the U.S. DoJ to form a ransomware task force in association with multiple federal agencies.
