The ultimatum has expired: the information has been released to the network Israel today

After a 48-hour allotment expired, in which hackers asked the Black Shadow group for a million dollars in order not to publish the personal information stolen from about a million members on the LGBT community dating site - "Atref"

"48 hours have passed and no one has transferred money to us yet" It was said in the group's new telegram page - which was opened after the previous page, in which the first ransom demand was passed - was closed with the help of the State Attorney's Office, and immediately afterwards two links were released to download the information.

The members of the group presented screenshots of what looked like negotiations with an Israeli entity, in which an agreement was reached in principle to pay a sum of money for the information - but the amount offered started at $ 250,000 and then increased to $ 350,000, but the "Israeli" entity did not Agreed to go beyond that.

No confirmation was received that this was an official Israeli entity, especially in light of the fact that anyone who has access to the group by telegram can correspond with the group members freely.

"This is one of the most serious privacy attacks Israel has ever known - Israeli citizens are currently experiencing cyber terrorism"

The CEO of the Israeli Internet Association, Yoram HaCohen,

in response to the leaking of surfers' information from the Atref website:

"This is one of the most serious privacy attacks that Israel has ever known - Israeli citizens are currently experiencing cyber terrorism.

It is terrorism in every way and now the focus should be on minimizing the damage and suppressing the distribution of the content as much as possible.

There is a responsibility to Telegram here from which it is expected not to be an accomplice to such a shocking invasion of privacy.

This is an emergency for everyone involved - the expectation from the technology giants, including Facebook and Google, is to remove the content soon if it is advertised on their platforms, it is a matter of mind control.

At the same time, the state must act with all the legal and technological tools at its disposal in order to thwart and remove publication of the sensitive information. "
