Private data recently stolen from the British Library is now for sale on a dark web auction site. The data, which was stolen at the end of October, included passport details and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) employment documents. According to The Register, Rhysida, the ransomware group behind the attack, has received a starting bid of 20 BTC, worth approximately $745,000, and the auction will end on November 27. TechCrunch also said that Rhysida threatened to release the data unless the British Library paid a ransom. (Protos)
