Nokia in six years ago and exactly in late 2007, the victim of extortion by a group of hackers, which led the company to pay an amount in millions of Euro ransom after a piracy to its Symbian OS.
This incident, which was confirmed by some sources in the local police confirms that the hackers had pirating key to decrypt an essential source code for the system, Symbian and they extort Nokia by threatening to publish the decryption key in the case of failure to meet their demands for financial thing that caused heavy losses for the Finnish company both on the level of security or financial.
According to sources, the Nokia acquiesced in the end to the demands of hackers and has handed over the amount estimated in millions of Euro and although she informed police of the incident, but the latter did not come to know the people involved in the case, note that this issue is still open for now, but it is unfortunate that Nokia does not support Symbian OS in the end and had been formally stopped when the company turned to Microsoft systems.
