The criminal group behind the February Reddit hack is now demanding $4.5 million and the dropping of API changes, or the stolen data will be published.
@Phoeniqz If Reddit is only announcing the hack now then that is very likely going to be a legal problem in a number of US jurisdictions, not to mention EU and others.

I’m not so sure tho, as no user data was affected.

My read was that BlackCat only got non-prod data. So perhaps it’s sourcecode.
In which case… they’ve likely got nothing of value other than the code used to track users.
Reddit announced it in February shortly after it was uncovered, the group that allegedly exfil’d the data has just started making threats now.
