[Shenzhen 'Fake Hacker' Sentenced to 3 Years and 3 Months for Attempted Extortion of 0.88 Bitcoin and 90,000 USDT] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on August 6, as reported by Procuratorial Daily, an employee of a Shenzhen company, under pressure from over 400,000 yuan in online loans, stole the company's core R&D data and posed as a foreign hacker to demand a ransom of 0.88 Bitcoin and 90,000 USDT. Ultimately, the individual was sentenced to three years and three months in prison for attempted extortion and fined 10,000 yuan. According to the Shenzhen Pingshan District Procuratorate, the employee, identified as Jia, exploited a data management vulnerability in the company to illegally download and copy 43 folders containing confidential R&D information. Jia then impersonated a foreign hacker through anonymous emails and other means, threatening to leak the core technical data. The employee successively demanded the company pay 0.88 Bitcoin, 0.8 Bitcoin, and 90,000 Tether (USDT). Concerned about the potential leak of technical data, the company reported the incident to the police and did not pay the ransom.
