In the dark, an advertisement appeared for the sale of a database of about 3 TB, which the sellers said they had received. after two large Russian SMS aggregators were hacked.
The author of the publication under the nickname ByteToBreach claims that the archive contains user names, phone numbers, IP addresses, bank notifications, confirmation codes and other messages.
Some information was deleted “in the process of transmission,” which may lead to disruptions in the work of operating companies.
To support his words, the hacker gave an example of data and left contacts for communication – Telegram and Signal accounts, as well as email. At the time of submission, no official recommendations were received from aggregator companies, telecom operators or government agencies.
Experts warn that such a leak could pose a threat to user safety. Attackers can intercept two-factor authentication codes, send phishing messages, or use the data to attack accounts in banks and online services. [SecurityLab]
