'Vindictive' hacker couple deleted hotel chain data for fun

Hackers have told the BBC they carried out a destructive cyber-attack against Holiday Inn owner Intercontinental Hotels Group "for fun".

The images, which IHG has confirmed are genuine, show they gained access to the company's internal Outlook emails, Microsoft Teams chats and server directories. "We don't feel guilty, really. We prefer to have a legal job here in Vietnam but the wage is average $300 per month. I'm sure our hack won't hurt the company a lot."

The criminals then say they accessed the most sensitive parts of IHG's computer system after finding login details for the company's internal password vault.
