What is the Anubis ransomware group?

Anubis is a ransomware-as-a-service outfit targeting enterprises, claiming big steals like AkzoNobel's to force payouts. They're aggressive on leak sites.

Did AkzoNobel pay the ransom?

No word yet — company says contained, no confirmation of payment. Typical silence to avoid encouraging more hits.
