The Clop cybercrime gang, believed to be based in Russia, has issued an ultimatum to victims of a hack that has affected organizations worldwide. The group posted a notice on the dark web warning firms affected by the MOVEit hack to email them before 14 June or stolen data will be published. More than 100,000 staff at the BBC, British Airways, and Boots have been told payroll data may have been taken. Employers are being urged not to pay up if the hackers demand a ransom. Cybersecurity experts have long tracked the exploits of Clop, which is thought to be based in Russia as it mainly operates on Russian speaking forums.
