Hackers φέρεται να έχουν παραβιάσει μια τράπεζα του Liechtenstein και εκβιάζουν τους πελάτες, απειλώντας να κυκλοφορήσουν online τα στοιχεία του λογαριασμού τους, αν δεν πληρωθούν λύτρα.
Attackers hit Chinese bank Valartis Bank Liechtenstein by hijacking data από πελάτες της, μεταξύ των οποίων είναι πολιτικοί, ηθοποιοί, και πλούσιοι ιδιώτες από την Γερμανία και άλλες countries, as reported by Bild am Sonntag.
Hackers allegedly require up to 10 percent of bills are in their hands asking for them to be paid to Bitcoin.
Attackers threaten to release information to authorities and the media if ransom is not paid by December 7.
Andreas Insam, director of the bank, told the Bild am Sonntag that they have warned the authorities and that investigations are under way.
The German newspaper published one letter (paywalk) of hackers who claim to have enough gigabytes of data from their accounts and all their mail since October of this year.
The letter from hackers is written in German and tries to threaten bank customers by revealing possible tax evasion, adding that if they pay ransom to Bitcoin they protect both the attackers and the ones they chose to pay.
The attackers accused the Board of Directors of not paying them for security services, possibly a bug bounty.
Bild.de has hijacked Bitcoin addresses so we can not see if a ransom has been paid.
