In the late 2000’s, when Nokia’s Symbian operating system was leading the smartphone world, some rogue Finnish company suddenly posed a serious threat. A group of people claim that they have a special secret code used to sign the Symbian app which, if leaked, would allow hackers to easily sign their malware and release it on the market and infect users.

This would cause irreparable damage to the Symbian platform. And so he took seriously the fact that the code, which was only a few kilobytes, was too expensive Nokia. But the gang demanded millions of euros in ransom to ensure that the codes were not misused. Nokia also agreed on that condition.

MTV Finland O. Reuters reportsNokia was the victim of a similar blackmail between 2006 and 2008. Nokia left a bag containing millions of euros in a park in Finland, according to the terms. And the miscreants took the opportunity to grab the bag. Although the company brought in law enforcement, there was no gain. Blackmailers pretend to be very cunning and run away with bags of money.
