IT House Reported on April 29 that The Register reported that the multinational carbonated soft drink brand Coca-Cola was hacked by a hacking group called Stormous.
Stormous lists about 161 GB of Coca-Cola data on the dark web. The list reads: "We hacked into some of Coca-Cola's servers and got a lot of data without their knowledge, intending to sell it."
The hackers asked for 1.6 bitcoins (about $64,000), and it added that the price could be negotiated "depending on the amount of data you want."
IT Home learned that the data was leaked on April 24, 2022, when Coca-Cola officially issued a statement. Scott Leith, coca-cola's vice president of communications worldwide, told The Register: "We are aware of this and are investigating to determine the validity of the claim. We are coordinating with law enforcement. ”
It is worth mentioning that a few days before the hack, Stomrous conducted a survey on its Telegram group, asking followers which company to hack, and Coca-Cola received about 72% of the vote.
