A notorious English -speaking hacking group has launched a website to extort its victims, which threatened to release about one billion records stolen from companies that stored by their customers’ data salesforce.
Loose -organized groups, known as Lapsus $, scattered spider and shinhuntars, have published a dedicated data leak site on the Dark Web, called the Skataraed Lapus $ hunter.
The aim of this website, characterized by the threat detectives on Friday and by TechCrunch, is to push hackers to the hackers to avoid the stolen data from online.
“To regain control over the data administration and contact us to prevent your data public expression,” read the site. “Don’t be the next title. All communications are demanding strict verification and will be conducted with consideration.”
Over the past few weeks, it has been alleged that dozens of high-profile companies have hacked their cloud-based databases organized by the Shinhuntars Gang Salesforce.
Insurance giants Allianz Life, Google, Fashion Caring, Airline Quantus, Carmeting Giant Stelantis, Credit Bureau Transnion and Employee Management Platform Workdade, among others, confirmed that their data was stolen in mass hacks.
The hackers were listed on the leak site, including FedEx, Hulu (owned by Disney) and Toyota Motors, none of which did not respond to any request to comment on Friday.
It is not clear whether the companies listed on the hacking group leaked site have been reported to have given hackers a ransom to prevent their data from publishing. A representative from Shinhuntars did not immediately respond to any of TechCrunch’s message.
At the top of the site, hackers refer to the salesforce and claim that the company discusses a ransom, otherwise “threatens all your customers [sic] The data will be leaked. “The tune of the message suggests that the salesforce has not yet been involved with hackers.
A Salesforce spokeswoman did not answer the question about the promotion or violation of TechCrunch.
For weeks, security researchers have assumed that the group, which has established the public presence online, is planning to publish a data leak website to engrave the victims.
ICally, these national websites were foreign, often associated with Russian -speaking, Ranswear’s gangs. Over the past few years, these organized cyber crime groups were stealing, encrypting their victim’s data, and then seeking a ransom, only developed until they paid the stolen data online.
