Clop Cyber Gang Hacks British Airways, Boots, and BBC, Demands Ransom for Stolen Employee Data

A cyber gang called Clop has claimed responsibility for a cyber attack on multiple companies, including British Airways, Boots, and the BBC.

The attack involved accessing personal data of over 100,000 employees, including bank and contact details.

The gang has given victims a deadline to negotiate or have the hacked information published online.

The attack was caused by a weak link in the MOVEit code, which enabled hackers to access servers and personal data.

The group's motivations are unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.

The MOVEit software has been used by multiple companies, potentially impacting hundreds of businesses.
