The US Justice Department Seizes Crypto Currency From Robin Hood

Data exposed include email addresses for about five million robin hood users, the full names of a different set of roughly two million users and more extensive personal information like names, dates of birth and zipco s for some 300 users. The data theft apparently represented an extortion attempt. Those who recall the mim stock short squeezes earlier this year will recognize robin hood as the trading firm mentioned in dispatches by the us Securities and exchange commission. Some of them used those accounts for wash trading, essentially trading with themselves to manipulate the share prices of mem stocks. There's no evident connection between those incidents and the present ransom ware case.
