Reward Offered for Info on Extortionists

Posted by Susan Hall Nov 12, 2008 11:57:02 AM

The pharmacy benefit-management company that hackers are trying to extort is offering  a $1 million reward for information that leads to their arrest and conviction, reports Brian Krebs at The Washington Post.

 

Express Scripts received a letter in early October demanding payment or its customer data would be exposed. The letter contained information on about 75 members, including the prescriptions ordered by some.

 

The company is working with the FBI to track down the hackers, but the investigation has no new leads. The hackers now appear to be contacting Express Scripts' client companies with letters that contain personal information about their employees.
