The ransomware team threatens to publish 1 terabyte of materials relating to the legal secrets of the world's largest music and film stars.
These materials cover dozens of music and movie stars, including Lady Gaga, Elton John, Robert De Niro and Madonna. More precisely, extortionists threaten the well-known New York law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, which has this data.
The hacker group REvil, also known as Sodinokibi, threatens to release about 756 GB of stolen data in nine stages.
Among the stolen data are confidential contracts, phone numbers, email, personal correspondence and much more. The company is required an amount in bitcoins, which has not yet been disclosed.
The Cointelegraph website reported that the hackers' site actually posted screenshots of the legal contracts of Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and even there are screenshots of the Grubman Shire folders.
Emsisoft's Brett Kallow said the theft of such data could be very sad since law firms keep very confidential information about their clients.
“The data that has already been published may seem like a warning shot,” Kallow said.
“If the company does not pay, then the data that the criminals could get will be published on the Internet; perhaps in parts to gradually increase the pressure. "
REvil members previously attacked a number of organizations. So, it is known that as a result, Travelex was forced to pay $ 2.3 million to restore its files.
