Hackers leak customer data after firm refuses to pay ransom

Hacking collective “Rex Mundi” has leaked a batch of personal and financial information belonging to individuals who have applied for loans with online loan provider AmeriCash Advance, after the company refused to pay $15,000 to prevent that from happening.

The batch contained the names and e-mail addresses of the applicants, as well as the last four digits of their Social Security numbers and the amount they requested on loan.
