The beloved popular grilled cheese joint Northern Soul Manchester were met with hardship this week when business owner, Dan Place, was targeted by a highly sophisticated attack from a hacker over on the restaurant’s Instagram page.
The hacker managed to lock the owner out of the business account followed by a demanded ransom amount of £2,500. Dan told the M.E.N that even if the business had the cash to pay the ransom, they still wouldn’t give in to blackmail. Their instagram account was at 30K followers at the time of the attack – they have since created a new one already at 8K, click here to follow.
Instead, the restaurant plan to donate £1000 to a local charity – be sure to pop in to pick up an iconic delicious toastie and even check out their Grill It Yourself meal kits.
