I've Been Thinking:
A hacker group successfully attacked an Israeli finance company. Now they are demanding a ransom of 1.9 million shekel. That’s about $570,000.
The group is called The Black Shadow.
The company they attacked is called KLS, a finance company that handles car payments.
The Black Shadow has begun to release the company’s private information on the web. They also deleted a significant amount of data.
This is not the first time The Black Shadow has cyber attacked an Israeli company.
Last December they successfully attacked Israeli Insurance company Shirbit. Following that attack the hacker group demanded - and received 200 Bitcoins which equaled $3.8 million.
KLS has refused to pay. They told The Black Shadow that they will not pay.
