Alert! Ransomware Hackers Threaten to Release Credit Card Data From Costa Rican Bank

I’m going through Twitter and I’m seeing this article which I’m using for my blog title. This should be an Alert, not just on the public address system, but all around the Internet.

This particular gang, called Maze, wants to damage reputation. The article indicates that they will only publish what they feel will benefit them, although the bank in question in this article has 11 million records although some may be duplicated in other aspects.

The Maze people said that the bank hasn’t secured anything so they’ll publish. That should not be a good enough reason to harm a company. The fact the security people blocked the attack was a start, and I’m not in agreement on releasing data because they chose not to patch whatever the problem is.

I’m still going to attack the bank however, because the bank started to do the right thing but then stopped. They should have patched the potential vulnerability that the hackers used aftr blocking their access. This is proper protocol to take, is it not?
