**Summary:**

1. **Historic Ransom** : Dark Angels ransomware gang secured a record-breaking $75 million ransom from a Fortune 50 company, surpassing the previous $40 million ransom paid by CNA Insurance.

2. **Targeted Approach** : Dark Angels employs a “Big Game Hunting” strategy, focusing on a few high-value companies rather than numerous smaller targets. This method seeks massive payouts from major corporations.

3. **Unconfirmed Victim** : While Zscaler ThreatLabz did not disclose the company, speculation points to pharmaceutical giant Cencora, ranked #10 in Fortune 50, which suffered a cyberattack in February 2024.
