Hacker group REvil is demanding $42 million worth of crypto ransom for personal details of celebrities, including Lady Gaga and Elton John, and “dirty laundry” of President Donald Trump, per Decrypt.

According to Fox News, the hackers posted this Thursday, “Mr Trump, if you want to stay president, poke a sharp stick at the guys, otherwise you may forget this ambition forever. And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don’t want to see him as president … The deadline is one week.”

This week, REvil hacked into the system of Attorney Allen Grubman, world-famous entertainment attorney, which represents Lady Gaga, Madonna, Mariah Carey, U2, and more. The hackers dug out 756 gigabytes of confidential documents and asked for $21 million.
