Plastic surgery clinics hacked; 25,000 photos, data online
VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Police in Lithuania say more than 25,000 private photos and personal data — including nude pictures — were made public Tuesday following the hacking of a chain of plastic surgery clinics.
Police are working with security services in other European countries and have warned that people who download and store the stolen data could also be prosecuted.
Staikunas said victims were asked to pay up to 2,000 euros ($2,238) to guarantee that nude images, passport copies, social security numbers and other data would not be made public.
