Hacker Group Threatens To Release 9/11 Documents Unless They Get Paid In Bitcoin

The hacking group known to the public as TheDarkOverload makes their way in our crypto news today for threatening to publish documents related with the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 unless they get paid in Bitcoin.

The reports on Motherboard show that the hacking group posted on Twitter on New Year’s Eve and that they claim to have stolen hundreds of documents from insurance companies such as Silverstein Properties and Hiscox Syndicates. They claim that these documents have ‘’the answers’’ to the conspiracy theories concerning the attack.

According to a spokesperson for the Hiscox Group, the hackers managed to gain access to multiple confidential files concerning a law firm that was the company’s advisor:

‘’The law firm’s systems are not connected to Hiscox’s IT infrastructure and Hiscox’s own systems were unaffected by this incident. One of the cases the law firm handled for Hiscox and other insurers related to litigation arising from the events of 9/11, and we believe that information relating to this was stolen during that breach.

The group has also posted letters and email threads mentioning multiple law firms and they also posted a link to a file containing the documents they reportedly stole. The file is still encrypted but the group promised to release the decryption keys unless the ransom is paid in Bitcoin.

Other individuals and companies also got blackmailed by TheDarkOverlord demanding they make bitcoin payments if they wish to be excluded from the documents. According to a demand letter sent by the hackers and published in the Motherboard report, the hackers said:

‘’If you continue to fail us, we’ll escalate these releases by releasing the keys, each time a Layer is opened, a new wave of liability will fall upon you.’’
