Akira demands ransom for Swiss federal pension data

· 1 min read

Akira claims it stole data from Publica, the Swiss federal staff pension fund, by attacking a software supplier, and threatens to publish or sell it. Officials fear the haul covers the entire federal workforce and could expose undercover intelligence and police officers. Publica and the supplier say they received no demand, and nothing has leaked so far.
