The cell that broke into the Israeli company KLS Capital over the weekend allocated the company 24 hours to pay a ransom of 10 coins in Tikoin (about NIS 2 million) • Last night, the attackers' telegram page was suddenly blocked • All details

About a day after the cyber attack against KLS Capital, the group of hackers BlackShadow, which is identified with Iran and is behind the break-in, continues with threats.

The attackers are demanding a ransom of 10 bitcoins (about NIS 2 million), and among other things, identity cards and driver's licenses, applications for car financing, photocopies of checks and the CEO's passport were leaked.

Last night, at night, access to the attackers' telegram group was suddenly blocked.

Dr. Harel Manshari, one of the founders of the GSS 'cyber network and head of cyber at HIT Holon Institute of Technology, says, "They play here, they just moved from place to place, anyone can start a group by telegram. The telegram page is used by them to increase The damage and to produce the consciousness they want to produce. "

This morning (Sunday), members of the squad issued a statement in a new group they opened, which reads: "KLS does not seem to care. We will soon reveal more data, including credit cards. If KLS continues to play with us, we will offer a 2 terabyte file for sale in 24 hours ".

Advocate Dr. Nimrod Kozlowski, partner and head of the Department of Regulation and Technology at Herzog Fox Ne'eman, and a lecturer in cyber at Tel Aviv University, explains that very little is currently known about members of the BlackShadow hacker group, but there are some similarities between You are Israeli.

"Regarding BlackShadow, there is little information because this is a new group that has done very little attacking activity in Israel and in general, so there is still very little information about the group and therefore all the speculation in the media is not real. We need to gather more information and slowly understand what the group is. "This one wants to. However, there are initial indications that this is a group of criminals whose purpose is not financial but is a purpose of weeping and misinformation against Israel," says Dr. Kozlowski.

"In the meantime, from what you see and analyze, this group is unsophisticated and not really dangerous, it operates on a phishing basis and penetrates random email accounts of people who come up with its rod. It is true that sometimes there is a lot of private information or all kinds of email correspondence. "This is an overly sophisticated attack on the companies in the country and there is no hostile attacking force here that really poses a danger."

Mentions factors that aim to create chaos in Israel

Manny Barzilai, a researcher at the Cyber ​​Center of Tel Aviv University, notes that although there is not much information about the group, it has a very prominent theatrical characteristic in its interest in Israel.

"When you look at the activities of BlackShadow, there is a feeling that they have an interest in producing an event, that they have a special interest in public and in Israel in particular. It is not something we have not seen before but here there is enthusiasm, there is a show that the group presents to us."

"One can suspect that there is a motive here that aims to create chaos or do something that burns it for the State of Israel. But there is not enough information to understand what the group wants and wait. In any case there are two options - or ask young people who are very enthusiastic to hurt us and have no goal. Or rather the loud noise, this visibility is a planned action by a very professional factor that hides behind all the noise and has a long-term agenda. "
