Hunters International claims ransom on Chinese mega-bank’s London HQ

Ransomware gang Hunters International reportedly claims to have stolen more than 5.2 million files belonging to the London branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), a Chinese state-owned bank and financial service corporation, and set a deadline of September 13 to release all the data. The newish ransomware-as-a-service operation, first spotted last October, allegedly swiped 6.6 TB of the bank’s data after breaking into its network, and threatened to publish all of it unless ICBC pays up.
