Crooks hacked e-shops, selling SQL databases if ransom isn’t paid

Crooks who hacked online shops in several countries are offering for sale more than two dozen SQL databases.

The crooks demand that victims pay BTC 0.06 (about $550) within 10 days, or they leak the database content.

The crooks hack into insecure servers that are reachable over the public web, copy the databases, and leave a note asking for a ransom in return for the stolen data.

The databases contain over 1.5 million rows. Exposed records include email addresses, names, hashed passwords , mailing addresses, gender, and dates of birth.
