After Western Digital disclosed on April 3 that hackers had exfiltrated data after hacking into "a number of the company’s systems," but provided few details about exactly what data was stolen, one of the hackers spoke with TechCrunch and provided more details, according to Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai. The hackers claim to have stolen around 10 terabytes of data from the company, including "reams of customer information," and are pushing the company to negotiate a ransom of "minimum 8 figures" in exchange for not publishing the stolen data, according to the report.
