Shadow PC, a provider of high-end cloud computing services, is warning customers of a data breach that exposed customers' private information, as a threat actor claims to be selling the stolen data for over 500,000 customers.
According to multiple tips sent to BleepingComputer yesterday from Shadow customers, the company has begun sending data breach notifications following a successful social engineering attack targeting its employees.
The threat actor claims that they breached Shadow at the end of September and were able to steal the data for 533,624 users.
The threat actor also says IP connection logs were stolen in the breach in addition to the other data already confirmed by Shadow.
BleepingComputer has not independently confirmed if the sold data belongs to Shadow customers.
