The hacker group “Black Cat” apparently republished data on Friday evening that came from the hacker attack on the Carinthian state administration in late May. Viennese IT entrepreneur Sebastian Bicchi, who had reviewed the data published two weeks ago, posted the relevant information on Twitter.
Exactly two weeks ago, on June 3, the hackers had put data from the hacker attack on the internet. At that point, however, they hit the “public” part of the internet and the link was quickly blocked at the instigation of the Interior Ministry.
Leaked data ends up on the dark web
In the meantime, however, the data has been leaked via a “.onion” link: “.onion” links lead to websites that can only be opened with a special browser in the so-called Darknet. This ensures that the people behind the websites remain anonymous and difficult to trace. And that, according to Bicchi, is also the problem: in this way it is no longer so easy to get the data from the network.
250 gigabytes of data copied
After the hacker attack at the end of May, which paralyzed large parts of the Carinthian state administration, the hacker group demanded a ransom of five million dollars from the state, to which the authorities did not respond. It gradually became known that the perpetrators had copied 250 gigabytes of data. It was mainly data from the office of Governor Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) and other members of the government. Among them were copies of the passports of state government employees.
