Updated Cybercrime crew BianLian says it has broken into the IT systems of a top nonprofit and stolen a ton of files, including what the miscreants claim is financial, health, and medical data.  While BianLian started off as a double-extortion ransomware crew — steal data, encrypt systems, and threaten to leak files and not provide a decryption key unless the victim pays a ransom — earlier this year, they shifted to pure extortion, as before but minus the encryption, according to government and private-sector threat hunters.
