A cybercriminal group known as Rhysida has hacked into The Agency, a company representing British celebrities, and leaked private information about their clients on the dark web. The leaked data, which includes bank details and addresses, was published in an encrypted area of the web. Celebrities such as Dame Emma Thompson and Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies were among those affected. The Agency has alerted all its clients to take precautions to prevent identity theft. This attack follows a ransomware incident where the cybercriminals demanded payment to prevent the data from being published online. The Agency, established in 1995, represents several British writers, directors, and creatives, including Sir Sam Mendes and Sally Wainwright. The firm has reported the breach to the Information Commissioner’s Office and is advising clients to monitor their credit files and register with a Fraud Prevention Service to prevent unauthorized transactions. This incident highlights the importance of cybersecurity measures for high-profile individuals and the risks of cyber attacks targeting celebrities and their representatives. Efforts are being made to secure the leaked data and prevent further breaches.
