The last leak that shook the world (Panama Papers) seems to be the result of a hack on Mossack Fonseca's e-mail server last year.
The leak of the Panama Papers by the Panama-based international firm Mossack Fonseca seems to confirm what everyone suspects but can rarely prove: wealthy politicians, businesses, investors, and criminals use offshore companies as safe havens to hide their wealth from the public and of course from the tax office.
The Bloomberg states that the co-founder of Ramon Fonseca told Channel 2 that the leaked documents are authentic and that they were "intercepted by a hacker".
According to The Spanish, the hacker obtained access in a huge "reservoir" of documents from the breach of the e-mail server of the company Mossack Fonseca.
The company responded immediately by sending a message to its customers stating what had happened, that it was investigating how the breach occurred, and that it would take "all necessary measures to prevent future breaches".
The Panama Papers Leak is described as the largest document leak ever, and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which coordinates document circulation, says there are 11,5 million documents. and 2.6 TB of data.
The leak has exposed the offshore activities of hundreds of politicians and public figures from around the world, such as Iceland Prime Minister David Gunnlaugsson, British Prime Minister David Cameron's late father, Vladimir Putin and many others.
PS: among the names there is of course the Greek element, so that we can feel proud….
