A cybercrime gang has issued an ultimatum to major British companies, warning that stolen data will be published unless they email the gang before June 14.

The BBC, British Airways, and drugstore chain Boots said on Monday that tens of thousands of their employees were among those whose personal data was exposed following a cyber attack.
