Posted on December 16, 2015 by Dissent

Mazhar Farooqui reports an update to a hack and data dump involving InvestBank customers:

The cyber criminal who hacked into a Sharjah bank last month has gone on the rampage. After the bank refused to give into his blackmail and pay $3 million in ransom money, the criminal Hacker Buba has posted the confidential details of more UAE customers online. In the latest round of leaks, he has released details of 50,000 credit card users, account balances of 64,000 customers and 100,000 transaction histories among a slew of other information in six zip files.
