Cybercrime crew BianLian claims to have broken into the IT systems of a top non-profit and stolen a ton of files, including what the miscreants claim is financial, health, and medical data.<\/p>\n

As highlighted by VX-Underground<\/a> and Emsisoft threat analyst Brett Callow<\/a> earlier today, BianLian bragged on its website it had hit an organization that, based on the gang’s description of its unnamed victim, looks to be Save The Children International. The NGO, which employs about 25,000 people, says it has helped more than a billion kids since it was founded in 1919.<\/p>\n

BianLian added that its victim, “the world’s leading nonprofit,” operates in 116 countries with $2.8 billion in revenues. The extortionists claim to have stolen 6.8TB of data, which they say includes international HR files, personal data, and more than 800GB of financial records. They claim to also have email messages as well as medical and health data.<\/p>\n
