 The Dark Overlord  (Hacking group)   | |
|---|---|
| Abbreviation | TDOL |
The Dark Overlord (TDOL and also known as the Professional Adversarial Threat Group) is an international hacker organization which garners significant publicity through cybercrime database penetration of high profile targets and subsequent public demands for ransom to prevent the release of potentially embarrassing documents.[1]
TDOL gained significant international exposure with the leak of unreleased episodes of the Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.”[2] On December 31, 2018, TDOL announced the Lloyds of London and Silverstein Properties "9/11 Papers" hack on Twitter, with thousands of incriminating documents[3][4][5]to be released in stages unless US$2,000.000 in bitcoin were paid to 192ZobzfZxAkacLGmg9oY4M9y8MVTPxh7U.[6] TDOL was subsequently banned from many social media platforms including Twitter, Reddit, Pastebin and Steemit.[7] Platforms unrelated to TDOL such as www.hpub.org also had their social media accounts eliminated or followers deleted for serving as mirrors of TDOL hacked documents.[8]As of January 12, 2019, the bitcoin blockchain explorer revealed that less than 1% of the ransom had been paid and the payment sources may have been 9/11 researchers, not the targets of the hack.
9/11 Leaks
The documents were posted on 31 December 2018 as a single large file of around 10GB. This however was encrypted. The group's request was for $2,000,000 in bitcoin to be paid in order not to bpulish the data. No one paid up. At least 3 of the keys group have subsequently been released.[9]
