Hackers, who have accessed the Domino’s Pizza user database, are threatening to release the details of more than 600,000 customers – including their favourite toppings - unless the management will pay them €30,000.
One of the hackers known only as Rex Mundi, said that the pizza chain is approaching its ransom deadline.
In a message posted to an online clipboard, Mundi said: "Earlier this week, we hacked our way into the servers of Domino's Pizza France and Belgium, who happen to share the same vulnerable database.
"And boy, did we find some juicy stuff in there! We downloaded over 592,000 customer records (including passwords) from French customers and over 58,000 records from Belgian ones.
"That's over six hundred thousand records, which include the customers' full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, passwords and delivery instructions. (Oh, and their favorite pizza topping as well, because why not)."
Later on, the hacker took to Twitter and wrote: "If Domino's Pizza doesn't pay us (on Monday) and we publish your data, you have the right to sue them. Speak to your lawyer."
Domino’s Pizza executive Andre ten Wolde responded by saying that they will not pay. According to a Dutch newspaper, the chain also filed a complaint with a court in Paris.
