BlackShadow hackers extort Israeli insurance company for $1 million

Threat actors are extorting an Israeli insurance company by demanding almost $1 million in bitcoin to stop leaking the company’s stolen data. Cybercrime group ‘BlackShadow’ tweeted that they hacked into the Israeli Shirbit insurance company and stole files during the attack. This stolen data includes documents, email PST files, scanned documents, audio recordings, and images of passports. Threat actors finally posted a ransom demand stating that Shirbit had 24 hours to send 50 bitcoins, or approximately $1million, and they would stop leaking their data if paid.
