That would be bizarre too. You can name Al-Qaeda and ISIS, but not ransomware groups?

In many jurisdictions or some online discussion boards, one can name by name the already famous, but not the unknown, behind which is certainly a measure of thought.
Then below the headline "The New Normal", a second group is introduced as "another ransomware group". I assume "another ransomware group" is the group subsequently referred to as "the relatively new gang". Also, relative to whom or what?
I am assuming the author of the piece originally named the groups or provided the detail you'd expect to have it make sense. Then editorial/legal spiked the names but did not copy-edit the rest of the piece to flow around the changes? I mention this because the article also weirdly edits around the nature or name of the firm targeted in the first story.
Weird.
