The threat actor, known as, pompompurin, has taken the responsibility for the recent hack being done on the FBI’s email servers is looking for five figures ransom for the data which he considers to be highly valuable.

However, according to the reports of ITPro, the threat actor emphasized that the sensitive data of 310 customers, such as name, date of birth, and zip code, will not be available to purchase “at this current point of time”.

Robinhood also concealed this information of getting the data leaked by the hands of the hacker. Reports suggest that information of 310 users has been stolen with extensive information in hand.

However, it is still not clear whether the information of their ID cards has been stolen or not.
