Hackers Extort Flink Grocery Delivery Service: Pay or Data Published
An unknown hacker group claims to have breached grocery delivery service Flink, demanding approximately 10 to 15 euros in cryptocurrency per customer by October 2 to prevent data publication. The hackers assert possession of one million customers' and 13,000 employees' records, though Flink states passwords and payment data were not compromised. Security experts from Northwave and Responders advise against paying, noting that individual consumer extortion is a novel tactic. Flink urges customers not to engage with the messages while the company investigates the incident involving compromised employee login credentials.
