Ransomed VC Claims Linktera Breach

September 11, 2023
Reading Time: 1 min read
in Incidents

The Ransomed VC hacker group has claimed responsibility for the Linktera data breach, asserting that they successfully accessed the company’s database and executed a calculated move to delete all server backups. The hackers have demanded a ransom of $23,000 in exchange for restoring access to Linktera’s systems, accompanied by a conspicuous “Pay” button on their dark web portal.

Despite these claims, when visiting Linktera’s website, no signs of a data breach or cyberattack are apparent, although there might be a compromise at the backend or databases.

The Ransomed VC hacker group operates with a degree of mystery, and their origins and motivations remain largely unknown. They employ a unique tactic involving European GDPR laws, leveraging the specter of substantial fines for violations to intimidate and extort companies.

This unconventional approach exploits legal frameworks initially designed to protect individuals’ privacy and data rights, highlighting a concerning trend among cybercriminals. By using GDPR, Ransomed VC departs from traditional data encryption models and ransom demands.

The cybersecurity community faces a challenge in adapting and strengthening defenses against this evolving cyber threat. The Linktera data breach is an ongoing situation, and more information or official confirmation from the company is awaited to ascertain the full extent of the breach and the group’s claims.
