A threat actor is selling on a Russian-speaking hacking forum what they claim to be hundreds of gigabytes of data allegedly stolen from U.S. Marshals Service servers.

The announcement, titled "350 GB from US Marshal Service law enforcement confidential information," was added earlier today using an account registered yesterday afternoon.

A USMS spokesperson was not available for comment when contacted by BleepingComputer today for a statement regarding the claims that data stolen in last month's incident is now up for sale.

According to USMS spokesperson Drew Wade, the data stolen in this incident, tagged as a "Major incident," includes USMS employees' personally identifiable information.

"The affected system contains law enforcement sensitive information, including returns from legal process, administrative information, and personally identifiable information pertaining to subjects of USMS investigations, third parties, and certain USMS employees," Wade said.

USMS disclosed another data breach in May 2020 after it exposed the details of more than 387,000 former and current inmates in a December 2019 incident, including their names, dates of birth, home addresses, and social security numbers.
