Chief Executive Vino Ramayah says there's information suggesting a ransom of 60-thousand-dollars is being demanded, but he can't comment, as the matter's with Police.
He says he also can't comment on who might be responsible.
Ramayah says they suspect the breach may have been carried out by someone overseas, but Police are still looking into that too.
