The data of almost 25,000 United Nations delegates has been allegedly published online after a notorious threat actor uploaded three databases.
Infamous hacker natohub took to a popular hacking forum claiming to have the data of 24,529 across three databases.
Each database contains different data affecting a varying number of delegates.
The first database allegedly contains the first names, last names, emails, IDs and phone active status of 11,000; the second allegedly contains the first names, last names, emails, phone numbers, organisational units, titles and more of 9,734 delegates; and the third contains the first names, last names, affiliations, emails, IDs and more of 3,795 users.
Natohub also posted a sample of the stolen data. While Cyber Daily has been unable to verify the legitimacy of all of the data, the samples contain a number of real delegate names and titles.
Natohub is infamous for the leaks of data belonging to NATO and its members, as well as the UN and other global alliances.
Earlier this month, natohub claimed to have the data of 13,000 United States Marine Corps (USMC) personnel.
In a post to the same popular hacking forum, natohub said it had two files containing 2,435 users and 10,878 users, respectively.
While the threat actor provided little information about the nature of the incident, it did provide samples of the data.
Based on the samples, data includes full names, email addresses, ranks, branches, unit codes, birth dates, time zones and more.
Cyber Daily’s analysis of the data suggests that some of the records pertain to legitimate current and former USMC personnel. However, Cyber Daily has been unable to verify whether or not all the data is real.
Cyber Daily reached out to the USMC, which said it was looking into the claims. It has yet to verify the incident’s legitimacy.
