Indigo Books & Music Inc. has refused to pay a ransom after the recent hijack of current and former employees’ data in a cyberattack.
The bookstore chain has warned that the stolen information may be posted on the dark web.
The company revealed it decided not to pay the ransom as it “cannot be assured that any ransom payment would not end up in the hands of terrorists or others on sanctions lists.”
Indigo says its investigation has discovered no evidence that personal information of customers’ like credit card numbers, has been accessed.
It said it’s offering two years of identity theft monitoring to current and former employees affected by the security breach.
Indigo stated further that its website and digital payment system was attacked in early February using a ransomware software known as “LockBit.”
