Hackers threaten to release 9/11 files (legal, conspiracy, revolution, independent)

[BentBow]

Watching my news feed, they ran a story that hackers are asking for a handsome ransom, not to release the insurance files on 9/11, that litigated the criminal activity, in the payout.

A hacking collective known as The Dark Overlord announced on New Year’s Eve that it had broken into the computer systems of a law firm and obtained files related to the September 11 attacks – threatening to publicly release a large cache of internal files unless a hefty ransom was paid

And they want Bitcoins? They may want to rethink that. May as well ask for soybeans as payment.



Anyway, I imagine that this story will die away. There was no secret conspiracy concerning 9/11.

This is true. 9/11 was an outside job.

For those well versed in the hacker world, has this organization successfully hacked in the past and either published or collected ransom?

Hopefully they release it anyway!


Im not entirely sure what would happen if the public found out that 9-11 was in fact a conspiracy, and our own Govt was involved, I think there would be some people who try to start a revolution right away, but I bet there would be just as many that take govts side on the issue.

They seem to have specialized in hacking independent medical offices.

The Dark Overlord was the name given to the Netflix hackers arrested last year.

In terms of Lloyds and Hisxox both are well known British Insurance companies, although Hiscox is know registered in Bermuda.

Law Enforcement and intelligence agencies will no doubt already be looking in to any such new activities.
