Portugal investigates dark web sale of classified NATO documents – EURACTIV.com

/in


Portugal’s public prosecutor’s office is investigating a cyberattack against the Armed Forces General Staff in which classified NATO documents were extracted and put up for sale on the ‘dark web’, the Attorney General’s Office said on Tuesday.

“The establishment of an enquiry is confirmed. It is led by the public prosecutor’s office of the Central Department of Investigation and Prosecution (DCIAP),” the Attorney General’s Office told EURACTIV’s media partner Lusa.

According to the Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias, the government was informed of the situation last week by the US intelligence services, via the embassy in Lisbon, through a communication that was reportedly made directly to Prime Minister António Costa in August.

The same newspaper mentioned that this case was considered “extremely serious” and that US cyber spies had detected “for sale on the ‘dark web’ hundreds of documents sent by NATO to Portugal, classified as secret and confidential.”

The Defence Ministry said it was already investigating “all signs of a potential breach of computer security” and claimed the “sensitivity” of the proceedings meant further comment was not appropriate.

In a statement, the ministry said that the investigations are conducted by the National Security Office, “with which the ministry of defence and the armed forces work in close coordination.”

Among the functions of the National Security Office is to “ensure the security of classified information within the national framework and international organisations to which Portugal is a party” and exercise “the function of accreditation authority for natural or legal persons to access and handle classified information.

Travel portal Cleartrip suffers data breach, hackers post stolen data for sale on the dark web

/in


Once again, Flipkart-owned online travel aggregator Cleartrip has been the victim of a data breach. However, this time is unlike the hack in 2017, when the hacker group Turtle Squad hacked and defaced its website for a few minutes.

This time, Cleartrip has been hit with a massive data breach in its internal servers, and the hacker(s) seem to have made with a decent amount of data, which has been claimed to be posted on the dark web on a private, invite-only forum.

“This is to inform you that there has been a security anomaly that entailed illegal and unauthorised access to a part of Cleartrip’s internal systems,” the 16-year-old company informed its customers in an email.

It maintained that while some personal details of its consumers were vulnerable and part of customer profiles had been exposed due to the “anomaly” in its systems, no sensitive information had been compromised. Nonetheless, it is better to be safe than sorry, and Cleartrip clearly feels the same. It suggested its customers to reset their passwords as a precautionary measure.

The exact nature of the stolen data has not been revealed, not has the company shared further details about the “security anomaly” it detected in several of its internal systems.

However, security researcher Sunny Nehra shared a screenshot of hackers on Twitter that depicted the sale of Cleartrip data by hackers on the dark web. “The screenshot as was posted by the threat actor (on private forum) to sell the data. As can be seen: the breach is new, customer entries info as well as internal company files are there,” his tweet read.

The data in question seemed to contain not only revenue and sensitive information of customers, but also “GST on advance working” and suggested that an insider was involved in the massive data breach.

For its part, the online travel aggregator’s information security team has joined forces with an external forensics partner in order to tackle the issue. It has also reached out to the proper authorities and will be taking further legal action against the hackers.

Cleartrip has also informed CERT-In (the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) about the breach within six hours, in…

Records of 1B mainland Chinese residents offered for sale on hacking forum

/in


Unknown hackers have claimed to have stolen data on as many as a billion mainland Chinese residents and are attempting to sell the data on a hacking forum.

The data is alleged to have been stolen from the Shanghai National Police database and is said to total 22 terabytes. The data includes names, addresses, national ID numbers, contact information and criminal records.

Bleeping Computer reported today that the hacker or hackers, going by the name of “ChinaDan” shared a sample of 750,000 records containing delivery information, ID information and police records. Hackers typically release a sample of stolen data to prove that what they are offering for sale is legitimate.

ChinaDan claimed that the data was stolen from a local private cloud provided by Alibaba Cloud, which is part of China’s public security network. The hacker or hackers is asking for a payment of 10 bitcoin, currently worth just over $20,000, to purchase the stolen data.

The listing for the stolen data appears on the BreachForums hacking forum, a site reported by some to be the successor to the now-closed RaidForums, even down to its look and users. RaidForums was taken offline as part of an international effort in April.

Giving some credence to the allegedly stolen data being legitimate, Zhao Changpeng, founder and chief executive officer of Binance, tweeted that the company had detected a breach of a billion records “from one Asian country.” In response, Binance has increased verification procedures for potentially affected users.

In a later tweet, Zhao claimed that the exploit occurred because a government developer wrote a blog post on the network and accidentally included the credentials.
