On Monday, New Year's Eve, a team hackers ανακοίνωσε ότι παραβίασε μια δικηγορική εταιρεία που χειρίζεται υποθέσεις που σχετίζονται με τις επιθέσεις της 11ης Σεπτεμβρίου. Η ομάδα απείλησε να δημοσιεύσει εσωτερικά archives unless he gets a ransom from the companies involved.
The group called The Dark Overlord, στο παρελθόν είχε χτυπήσει ένα στούντιο παρtreatmentς του Netflix, καθώς και πλήθος ιατρικών κέντρων και ιδιωτικών επιχειρήσεων σε όλες τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες. Η ανακοίνωση αυτή σηματοδοτεί μια μικρή development in the strategy of The Dark Overlord group, which now seems to use the media to put pressure on its victims.
In her Pastebin announcement, The Dark Overlord mentions several insurance and law firms, namely Hiscox Syndicates Ltd, Lloyds of London and Silverstein Properties.
"Hiscox Syndicates Ltd and Lloyds London are among the largest insurance companies in the world that insure everything from the smallest companies to some of the largest in the world such as the World Trade Centers," the statement said.
At present we do not know exactly what files the team has stolen, but it seems to be trying to exploit the conspiracy theories surrounding the 11 September attacks.
"We will provide many answers to the 9.11 conspiracies through the 18.000 secret documents we obtained," he said. a tweet on Monday.
A Representative of the Hiscox Group confirmed on the Motherboard that the hackers had broken a law firm that advised the company and probably stole records related to 11's September attacks.
"Our law firm systems are not connected to Hiscox IT infrastructure and Hiscox systems were not affected by this incident."
Hiscox has just been notified of the breach data of the law firm, took action and informed those involved as required. We will continue to work with law enforcement in both the UK and the US on this matter.
The team hacking published a few letters, emails and other documents citing various law firms, such as the Transport Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration. The leaked documents are not significant, but the team says more may be leaked.
The text posted by The Dark Overlord team includes a link to a 10GB file of allegedly stolen files. The files are encrypted, but hackers are threatening to release them wrenches decryption, unless their victims pay the ransom they demanded in Bitcoin.
Pay the fuck up, or we're going to bury you with this. If you continue to fail us, we'll escalate these releases by releasing the keys, each time a Layer is opened, a new wave of liability will fall upon you
