Cybercriminals have stolen customer data from a German IT company whose clients include Oracle, Volkswagen, Airbus, Ericsson and many others. When the IT company, Germany’s Citycomp, refused to pay a ransom, the hackers posted the data online Tuesday. The attackers sought $1 million in ransom, half in cash and half in bitcoin, according to a German publication. The data, which is available for free download, has also been uploaded to the dark net, the website claims. Cybercrime gangs increasingly are stealing data from corporate networks and then demanding money to refrain from publishing it.”]
