Hackers demand $400,000 in crypto after ATB data breach

The website of the ATB grocery store chain was reportedly hacked, with attackers claiming to have stolen the personal data of nearly 8 million customers. The hackers have posted a message on the site demanding a ransom of $400,000 in cryptocurrency, warning that the data will be leaked if their demands are not met within two hours.

The message, written in Russian, includes a countdown timer and threatens to make the stolen data publicly available if the ransom is not paid. The attackers have not provided any proof of the stolen data or further details on the breach.

ATB has not yet issued an official statement regarding the hack or the ransom demand. The grocery chain operates numerous stores and serves millions of customers across the region.
