Personal data of Nova Poshta clients leaked to the Internet
A number of Ukrainian media have reported a large-scale leakage of the personal data of customers of the logistics company Nova Poshta. It was indicated that in the darknet two new clients of “Nova Poshta” were put up for sale. One database contains information about 500 thousand customers, the second about 18 million.
18 million people – almost a third of the population of Ukraine, where the company operates.
The seller told the price – 1500 hryvnia for the base (about $ 70) which contains the data of half a million people. They ask for such a sum, because the database does not contain information, with the help of which it would be possible in the future to gain access to the servers, to the personal accounts of users. How is such data used? First of all, for intrusive advertising: advertising SMS-messages, calls, and so on.
Hackers posted data of 47 thousand Ukrainian Facebook users
The data of 257 thousand users of the social network Facebook are freely available on the Internet, including personal messages of more than 80 thousand users. It is reported by the Air Force.
On the last “mirror” of the site, hackers posted data from nearly 200 countries, most of the users (47 thousand) from Ukraine.
It is emphasized that in most cases, profiles stolen by hackers contain data of biographies, mobile phones and lists of friends. According to the broadcaster, hackers said that they have a total of 120 million Facebook accounts.
