Hackers breach German delivery service Flink, demand 100 ETH from customers
- —One Flink Order Hub was breached; names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of customers and staff were copied
- —Hackers demand 0.005 ETH per customer, 100 ETH (about €230,000) total, to delete the data
- —At least 10,000 customers in the Netherlands received extortion emails
- —Passwords and payment or banking data were not exposed, Flink said
Why it matters: The 'crowdfunded ransom' tactic shifts extortion to customers, setting a new precedent for data breaches and raising phishing risks.
