PUNE: The Airport police are investigating a threat and extortion case against an email sender for issuing mail threats to senior officials of a private finance company headquartered in Pune, stating he\/she will delete the firm\u2019s data by hacking into its database.
The email sender demanded extortion of 11.63 crore coins of a cryptocurrency and threatened to delete the data if it wasn\u2019t paid.
According to the police, the company officials had received the mail on November 28, 2021, and the firm immediately safeguarded its data. One of the managers of the company (aged 32) approached the Airport police on Friday and lodged a complaint against the unidentified threat email sender.
TOI on Saturday evening contacted a senior officer with the company but he said, \u201cI am not authorised to speak with the media.\u201d
Senior police inspector Bharat Jadhav<\/a> of the Airport police said, \u201cThe top bosses of the finance company on November 28, 2021, received the email from the same sender. We suspect a hacker could have sent the email.\u201d
Jadhav said, \u201cWe are probing into how emails of all the senior officials of the company were compromised.\u201d
\u201cIt is a case of threat and attempt to extortion. The company officials did not transfer any cryptocurrency coins to the suspect,\u201d he said, refusing to divulge details of the email to TOI.
\u201cWe received the complaint on Friday and we have decided to check from where (the server) the email was sent to the company officials. It is, however, suspected that the email has been sent after routing it from several servers,\u201d a senior police officer said. According to the police, it is one of the rarest cases in which the hacker has demanded extortion in cryptocurrency. <\/div>\n
