San Francisco: A hacker group has threatened to reveal “secret” data related to September 11 attacks in the US after claiming to have got access to a large cache of confidential files.
In its announcement published on Pastebin, the group known as The Dark Overlord pointed to several different insurers and legal firms, claiming specifically that it hacked Hiscox Syndicates Ltd, Lloyds of London, and Silverstein Properties, the Motherboard reported on Tuesday.
The group threatened that it would reveal the documents unless the victims pay them an undisclosed ransom fee in Bitcoin.
While it is not clear what exact files the group has got access to, it is trying to capitalise on conspiracy theories around the 9/11 attacks. (IANS)
