Pasientopplysninger fra et finsk psykoterapisenter er på avveie etter hacking, og flere pasienter er blitt presset for penger.
Utpresseren skal ha presset selskapets ledelse for 40 bitcoin, tilsvarende nesten 5 millioner kroner, for ikke å publisere pasientjournalene på det mørke nettet.
Utpresseren skal ha truet med å publisere 100 journaler på det mørke nettet per dag.
Kravet ble avvist, dermed begynte lekkasjene. Etter dette begynte det å dukke opp trusselmeldinger til hver enkelt pasient.
– Nå må vi ordne krisehjelp til ofrene, sier Ohisalo.
