Sumber Kebocoran Data
BALI — The stolen records belong to individuals in the United States and Canada. Investigators believe the trove was collected by breaching an identity verification service whose clients include multiple Fortune 500 companies.
Beyond driving permits, the leaked documents also include medical cards and residence cards, amplifying the risk of financial fraud for millions of victims.
Verifikasi dan Ancaman Baru
A new identity theft service dubbed "Nexus" launched on the dark web this week. It is advertising the massive database to potential buyers.
Cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs of KrebsOnSecurity confirmed the authenticity of the hackers' claims after they provided a scan of his own driving license. Other victims also verified that their scans were accurate, proving the breach is real and not a hoax.
Dampak yang Lebih Luas
With the records now in the open, the risk of loan fraud and account takeovers has escalated significantly. Law enforcement agencies are urging citizens to monitor their credit reports for suspicious activity.
