The password leakage, including the passwords of 14,000 Commbank customer, 7,000 Anz customers, 5,000 NAB customer and 4,000 Westpac customers, are sold or even offered free of charge. According to the founder of Dvuln Cybercrimans investigation company Jamie O’reilly, the data leakage did not occur due to the fragility of the system, but as a result of the infection for users to collect confidential information: passwords, credit card data and crypto currency wallets.
O’reili brought more than 100 groups in the telegram, sells stolen data, some of them use subscription models to provide access to hacked accounts.
