In a post to a popular hacking forum, threat actor “goromoro” said they were sharing a “crypto database leak” that contained Australian forex data. For those unaware, forex or FX refers to foreign exchange trading.

“Today I wish to share with you some of my Crypto database leak,” said goromoro.

“This is a AU leak from Xtrade, I have many more geo’s and databases to share with the community that I plan to upload here soon stay toned [sic].

“The leak source is a well known network on [sic] the industry.”

According to the post, the threat actor has 2,749 lines of data, which include broker first names, last names, email addresses, phone numbers, and country of origin.

Goromoro also posted a sample of the data, which included a list of email addresses, trading platforms used, phone numbers, and countries of origin. All of the data leaked referred to Australian XTrade users.

Cyber Daily was able to verify some of the email addresses as real individuals but has been unable to confirm that the rest of the data is real.

Cyber Daily has attempted to contact XTrade for more information but was unable to reach them. When looking for contact information, Cyber Daily noted that the Australian XTrade website said it did not accept traders from Australia.
