Hi Guys
Please see below details on three of the latest security breaches. Have you ever used any of these companies?
Utah Gun Exchange – 235,233 breached accounts
In July 2020, the Utah Gun Exchange website suffered a data breach which included several other associated websites. In total, 235k unique email addresses were exposed before being traded online alongside names, usernames, genders, IP addresses and password hashes. The data was provided to Incognito by HIBP via breachbase.pw.
Catho – 1,173,012 breached accounts
In approximately March 2020, the Brazilian recruitment website Catho was compromised and subsequently appeared alongside 20 other breached websites listed for sale on a dark web marketplace. The breach included almost 11 million records with 1.2 million unique email addresses. Names, usernames and plain text passwords were also exposed. The data was provided to Incognito by HIBP via breachbase.pw.
Unico Campania – 166,031 breached accounts
In August 2020, the Neapolitan public transport website Unico Campania was hacked and the data extensively circulated. The breach contained 166k user records with email addresses and plain text passwords.
Please take the following actions if you have been affected by these breaches:
- Change your password right away and never use the same password twice (see my article on credential stuffing below)
- Send an email to them and let them know that you are aware of the breach and ask them to provide you with Identity protection and credit Monitoring services.
Please let me know if you need any help in relation to this or with anything else.
