Hackers are no match for corporate HR. A ransomware group hits a company and is trying to get money out of them.
HR vs a Hacker group
“Hi, Beth, how are you doing?” the hacker said.
After a minute in which the two have trouble hearing each other, Beth tells the hacker that she is not familiar with the data breach that the hacker claimed. When the hacker attempts to explain what’s going on, Beth interrupts him and asks: “Now, why would you attack us?”
“Is there a reason why you chose us?” Beth insists.
“No need to interrupt me, OK? I’m just trying to help you,” the hacker responds, growing increasingly frustrated.
The hacker then proceeds to explain to Beth that the company she works for only has eight hours to negotiate before the ransomware gang will release the company’s stolen data.
“It will be published for public access, and it will be used for fraudulent activities and for terrorism by criminals,” the hacker says.
“Oh, OK,” says Beth, apparently nonplussed, and not understanding where the data is going to be.
“So it will be on X?” Beth asks. “So is that Dragonforce.com?”
The hacker then threatens Beth, saying they will start calling the company’s clients, employees and partners. The hacker adds that they have already contacted the media and provided a recording of a previous call with one of her colleagues, which is also on the gang’s dark web site.
“So that includes a conversation with Patricia? Because you know, that’s illegal in Ohio,” Beth says.
“Excuse me?” the hacker responds.
“You can’t do that in Ohio. Did you record Patricia?” Beth continues.
“Ma’am, I am a hacker. I don’t care about the law,” responds the hacker, growing even more frustrated.
Then the hacker tries one more time to convince Beth to negotiate, to no avail.
“I would never negotiate with a terrorist or a hacker as you call yourself,” Beth responds, asking the hacker to confirm a good phone number to call them back.
When the hacker says they “got no phone number,” Beth has had enough.
“Alright, well then I’m just gonna go ahead and end this phone call now,” she says. “I think we spent enough time and energy on this.”
“Well, good luck,” Beth says.
“Thank you, take care,” the hacker says.
