The hacker group BlackShadow, which broke into KLS Capital, announced tonight (Monday) that it has sold a first package of the company's data.

In the announcement, the attackers also wrote that they are now putting up for sale a second package of data - which includes credit cards, driver's licenses, passport photos and identity cards.

This morning, the hackers' ultimatum expired, following which the information was offered for sale by telegram.

Last night, a variety of data was published from the company's databases that were hacked by a group of hackers, including photos of credit cards.

KLS Capital said: "The company will not negotiate with state elements that are hostile to Israel and does not see any logic in transferring funds that could be used as terrorist elements."

They added that "we are continuing to investigate the incident and are working to minimize harm to customers while cooperating with all relevant parties. We adhere to the information leak and do everything possible to ensure the protection of the company's systems."

The BlackShadow group has already been identified in the previous attack on the insurance company Sharvit as an Iranian group.

And KLS Capital's decision not to pay a ransom (for a total of NIS 2 million) to hackers is not self-evident.

In most cases of this type of extortion, companies prefer to pay the ransom to end the event - and certainly when it comes to a small company.

According to experts, there are no financial goals behind the attack.

"In my opinion, they are not that sophisticated, their desire is to create noise, commotion and especially embarrassment," says Tom Malka, senior threat analyst at Security Joes in an interview with Israel Today.
