The group, which is known as Cl0p, said on Tuesday it has 143 gigabytes of ComReg data which was stolen in a ransomware attack on the Government agency in May.
The agency was one of many organisations targeted in a cyberattack by the Cl0p ransomware group which is based in Russia. The group carried out the attack by exploiting a weakness in Moveit, a file transfer system used by ComReg.
Last month, ComReg wrote to various telecommunications companies to inform them their data had been stolen. The criminals threatened to publish victims’ data if they did not receive a ransom payment in cryptocurrency. The deadline to begin the process of paying the ransom was June 14th.
