The hacker collective that has taken down the computer network of the Duvel brewery is threatening to leak a large amount of data about the company next week.
The hackers said this to Vtm, which had contact with members of Stormous. According to the hacker collective – which holds the brewery’s data hostage in exchange for ransom – there has still been no contact with the Duvel management. This frustrates the hackers, and that is why they increase the pressure on the brewery group.
A countdown clock on the hacker group’s website initially stated that the brewery had more than 2 weeks to pay the ransom – the exact amount is not known.
On Wednesday it was announced that the Moortgat brewery – the company behind Duvel, among others – had been hacked, causing production to be temporarily halted. It was also announced on Friday that the Beyers coffee roaster – located not far from the Duvel brewery – also fell victim to hackers.
