According to a statement by Hive’s spokesperson to DataBreaches, the two groups agreed on one price they would split if JAKKS paid: $5 million. But also according the spokesperson, JAKKS did not negotiate at all.“
“On December 8, 2022, JAKKS experienced what many other companies have been and are experiencing: a ransomware attack by bad actors who inserted malware into JAKKS’ computer network and locked up our servers.“
