| Summary | Hello Electrolux & OnTrac,
Still no response from you. When we called your IT helpdesk posing as threat researchers and asked about the breach, we were told, “We cannot talk about it.” You have one week before we release more data – starting with information on your employees. We’d prefer to settle this directly. Same goes for OnTrac. We recently learned that OnTrac has been paying employees as little as $14.50 an hour. As a result, we will be releasing salary information for all of their employees. I also managed to get in touch with a former OnTrac employee, chill guy. Said his time there was horrible.
