Cyber criminals say they do not have data belonging to UK organisations thought to be victims of a mass hack.
Clop has posted dozens of names and profiles of its victims so far but not the BBC, BA or BootsCyber criminals have told the BBC they do not have data belonging to large UK organisations thought to be victims of a mass hack.
Since 14 June, Clop has been posting company profiles of victims of its hack to pressure them into paying a ransom.In small batches Clop has added the names, websites and company addresses of nearly 50 victims to their darknet website. Clop is threatening to publish the stolen data unless victims pay a ransom which is likely to be hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in Bitcoin.It's thought hundreds of organisations who used the file transfer tool MOVEit have had their data stolen.
"We don't have that data and we told Zellis about it. We just don't have it. We are an old group and have never deceived anyone, if we say that we do not have information, then we do not have it," the hackers claimed. The firm says it has brought in an expert external security team to help it respond to the attack and has notified the relevant UK data authorities.Cyber security experts are puzzled by Clop's claims which further muddy an already complex situation.
