Nude patients have become a tool of pressure on a plastic surgeon from the United States.
A new group of hackers, calling themselves Hunters International, is threatening to publish pre-surgery photos of nude patients at an American plastic surgery clinic. Such a move is aimed at speeding up the buyout negotiations.
Threat analyst Brett Callow of Emsisoft posted a tweet with a screenshot of the group's website. Hunters International showed 4 photos of the girls, claiming to be patients of Dr. Jaime Schwartz, a plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills and Dubai, as evidence of the theft of 248,245 files from the clinic. The hackers also noted that patients at Schwartz clinics are top managers of various organizations, bloggers, businessmen, influencers, and other celebrities.
In a follow-up post, the group said it was preparing to publish patient emails as a scare tactic before encouraging the surgeon to contact cybercriminals. At the moment, the clinic has not provided any comments on the incident.
Threat Analyst Tweet about hackers posting photos of patients
Cybersecurity experts link Hunters to the previously disclosed Hive group, which was previously eliminated in an international law enforcement operation. The first mention of Hunters was noticed on October 20 by analyst Andrey Zhdanov. However, in a statement, Hunters International denied any connection to Hive, claiming that cybercriminals bought the source code from Hive. It is worth noting that code similarity does not always indicate a direct relationship between groups. As with Hive, the code is often sold and sometimes leaked, allowing other groups to use and modify it.
