SQL databases allegedly stolen from 945 websites have emerged on the Dark Web, potentially impacting tens of millions of people, Lucy Security reports.
The collection contains information from a variety of sites worldwide, which appear to have been breached by different hackers, but not by the entity offering them on the Dark Web.
On June 1 and June 10, the threat actor released two databases containing a total of 150 GB of unpacked SQL files, Lucy Security reveals.
"The entity who collected and shared the databases on the dark web claims to have gathered these so-called 'private' databases without having committed any hacking by themselves, yet they also claim to possess even more databases, which they are planning to share or sell to the highest bidder," Lucy Security says.
The Lucy researchers who analyzed the databases reveal that the collection contains entire SQL dumps of the targeted sites, dated between 2017 and 2020.
