Hackers Double The $21 Million Ransom For Hacked Celebrity Information

The hackers who stole a bunch of data from a prominent New York entertainment law firm posted a batch of emails Saturday on the dark web after the law firm refused to pay the cyberthieves their initial $21 million ransom. The hackers have now doubled their demand to $42 million. Since the law firm has made it clear that they won't even negotiate, the hackers say they will auction off the client data they stole on the dark web. As a reminder, the hackers are claiming to have information on Lady Gaga, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Cam Newton, Bette Midler, Jessica Simpson, Priyanka Chopra, Idina Menzel, and Run DMC.
