Hackers Attempt to Sell Stolen 9/11 Documents
security week ^ | 1/3/2019 | Ionut Arghire

A group of hackers is claiming to be offering for sale a large number of confidential documents related to the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The hacking group, which is known as The Dark Overlord, says they stole the documents from a law firm in the United States. Among the “hundreds of thousands of documents” that were exfiltrated, tens of thousands were related to the terrorist attack that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people 17 years ago.

The documents, they claim, belong to British insurance company Hiscox, and the firm has already confirmed that documents containing information on various insurance cases related to the September 11 events were stolen in a cyber-security incident not related to its IT infrastructure.

The firm initially acknowledged the incident in an April 2018 announcement, when it said that the law firm’s compromised server “may have included information relating to up to 1,500 of Hiscox’s US-based commercial insurance policyholders.”

In a statement released on December 31, 2018, the insurance company confirmed once again that the stolen documents were related to the events of 9/11, but also noted that Hiscox’s own systems were unaffected by this incident.

“One of the cases the law firm handled for Hiscox and other insurers related to subrogation litigation arising from the events of 9/11, and we believe that information relating to this was stolen during that breach,” Hiscox said.

The 9/11 attacks occurred in New York City
Trump lived in New York City at the time.

Pelosi might want to investigate that.

Which law firm got hacked, and what other files were compromised?

Reporters used to know how to ask questions, not parrot press releases.

Don’t know. If the Chan postings are real and not a LARP....they are strictly for money and not politics.

Hmm. Must be the same guys that have the video from my (non-existent) webcam. They should just send them $675 in Bitcoin to their wallet. LOL

Since all the relevant information has been released years ago, what value could these documents have? /s/

Insurance Company?

A few weeks after 9-11, I (my business) received a letter from our insurance co highlighting the clause of exceptions for Acts of Terrorism in our coverage that were already in place.

Even the infinity folks were dubious about downloading from the links provided. They were very concerned about computer infestations.

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if someone was able to crack the passwords to the downloaded docs. When that happens, those docs will sweep the net like wildfire.
