The US giant company has been in trouble with hackers for a while. Hackers who attacked the systems of companies demanded crypto money and Bitcoin as ransom from companies that wanted to start their activities as soon as possible. When the issue reached serious dimensions, Joe Biden issued an order and took some precautions against such attacks.
MediaMarkt, one of Europe’s largest electronics retailers, was the last target of these hackers.
It was stated that as a result of this attack by the attackers on Mediamarkt, some stores were unable to perform various basic services such as accepting credit cards and accepting returns. It is stated that there is no problem in online sales.
It is reported that the attack started on Sunday evening and negotiations are continuing.
According to the news of Bleeping Computer, the attackers initially demanded $ 240 million to end the attack and continue the company’s operations. However, after negotiations, the ransom demand was reduced to $ 50 million. The attackers demanded that the money be paid in Bitcoin.
