MyPillow must decide whether to be firm or soft as ransomware crims demand pay

MyPillow, a US bedding brand founded by election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, is targeted by Play ransomware operators demanding a ransom to prevent data leaks. The attackers claim to have stolen sensitive data including client documents, payroll, and financial information.
