The Black Shadow group behind the cyberattack against the Shirbit insurance company announced that they would leak more of the company’s data if they did not get the money they had requested by 9 a.m. on Sunday, Channel 13 reported.
The request comes just a day after the group had already released more documents containing the personal information of Shirbit employees and customers over the weekend, as the company refused to pay the ransom demanded.
Included in the released documents are screenshots of WhatsApp conversations, ID cards, marriage certificates and financial documents.
On Friday afternoon, Black Shadow released screenshots of negotiations held between a Shirbit representative and the hacker group. The negotiations did not end with a resolution and the hackers released more data later in the day.
That same morning, Shirbit announced that it does not intend to meet the hacker group’s demand for payment, Israeli media reported.
On Wednesday night, Black Shadow demanded that Shirbit send 50 bitcoin ($961,110) to their bitcoin wallet within 24 hours or else they would leak more information. The group warned that if the money was not sent, the ransom demand would rise to 100 bitcoins. If another 24 hours pass, the demand will rise to 200 bitcoins.
“After that we will sell the data to the others,” warned the hackers, adding that they will leak some more data at the end of every 24 hours.
The series of events began on Tuesday when it was discovered that personal information such as ID numbers, drivers’ licenses and registration forms had been leaked from the insurance company.
