Markit CEO sues unknown hackers over 'campaign of extortion'

By Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) - Markit Ltd's chief executive filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing unknown individuals of hacking into his computers, phone and emails to try to intimidate him and extort money. Neither London-based Markit nor a lawyer for Uggla responded to requests for comment. The lawsuit could provide Uggla's lawyers the ability to use subpoenas to seek out the identities of the hackers.
