The REvil ransomware gang has found a fresh target. BleepingComputer and Bloomberg report the group is threatening Apple after one of the tech giant's key MacBook suppliers, Quanta, allegedly refused to pay a $50 million ransom following a hack targeting its systems. The attackers disclosed their efforts alongside Apple's spring event after Quanta reportedly signaled that it wouldn't pay by the April 27th deadline, and leaked what appeared to be component schematics for a MacBook design from March.
REvil said it would hike the demand to $100 million if Quanta didn't pay by the specified date. It claimed to have "all local network data" from the contract manufacturer, although it's not clear how much it really has.

I dont think that Apple will pay $50 million to this gang. because it might be a trap.
You are probably right 😆 🤣
This is a huge trap for Apple, but I don't them buying such huge money. Doing this will even encourage the gang to demand more in future.
Wow this will be a great loss for apple if they eventually agree to this but I believe they won’t fall for it. This is definitely a very dangerous trap.
Things are looking good for apple with this. The money they were threatened to pay is too much.
$50m is peanuts to Apple. However, as a matter of principle, they would never pay it.
Looks like Apple should invest more in their security and privacy. How so ironic.
I can bet Apple never paid a penny. They would never let the hackers win
