Taking advantage of a vulnerability, a forum containing the personal information of 533 million users, including their phone number, birth information, place of residence, workplace and email address, was obtained and posted. The data is from 2019. We wrote about the incident here:
The Kiber Blog writes that the leaked data also contains the personal information of 377,000 Hungarian users.
According to the data, 208 users involved in the data leak work in a ministry, 108 in the Police and 294 in the Defense Forces. 14 users work in Parliament. Data for 2,177 hospital staff, 394 outpatient staff, and 1,231 office staff were also posted on the Internet. 48 judges, 455 law firms and 12 prosecutors also participated.
Of the Hungarian users, 180,000 men, 167,000 women and 30,000 did not indicate any gender. Regarding marital status, most of the people, 108,000, are married, 30,000 live with a partner and 25,000 are single.
Also 217 thousand registrations were registered, the majority of Hungarian users living abroad live in Germany, 1709 people, and then in England, with 832 people.
The email addresses of 6226 users have also been published on the Internet.
The Kiber blog also notes that the current data leak is particularly concerning due to the fact that FluBot is being spread via SMS, as this data can be used to run a targeted spam campaign. The blog editor recommends that we do not provide our personal information to Facebook.
