SeaChange, a global public supplier of video delivery software, has been reportedly hit by a Windows ransomware attack, with the malware in question being REvil aka Sodinokibi.

The company has more than 50 million subscribers and is traded on the NASDAQ, the data breach monitoring and prevention service Under the Breach said in a tweet, to which it attached a screenshot of some of the material put up on the group's website.

Included among that was a cover letter for a design proposal for a video-on-demand system for the Pentagon.

REvil is one among a growing number of ransomware outfits that collect data from victims before encrypting it and generating a ransom note.
This data is then displayed on the ransomware attackers' site in increasing amounts if the victim does not pay up.

SeaChange is based in Waltham, Massachusetts, and supplies video to many big names like the BBC, Cox, Dish, Verizon, Virgin Media and DirecTV.

The company has been contacted for comment.
