Swiss company, ProtonMail , suffered a series of DDoS attacks beginning on November 3 , where attackers demanded a ransom be paid in Swiss . Thanks! The company stated that while it disagreed with paying the ransom, it came under significant pressure from other first parties to pay, who were also suffering as a result of the attack and hence paid the ransom to a Bitcoin address. However, the attacks continued. The company has said that it has now learned its lesson, and " Proton Technologies will NEVER pay another ransom".
