IT security: ultimatum expired - hackers publish sensitive data
The ultimatum from the criminal hacker group Rhysida to the Berlin Senate has expired. After the unsuccessful extortion attempt, they are making good on their threat.
The ultimatum set by the Rhysida hacker group has expired, and the group has published the stolen data from the Berlin administration on the dark web. The data includes sensitive information such as personnel files, pay slips, and confidential documents from federal council committees. The Berliner Senat had refused to pay the demanded ransom of 30 Bitcoin, approximately 2 million euros.
Experts have praised the Senat's decision, but warned that the published data poses significant risks of identity theft and phishing attacks for the affected individuals.
