Telefonica’s Cyber Drama: Hackers Swipe 236,000 Customer Records in Data Heist!
Telefonica’s internal systems were breached, exposing 236,000 lines of customer data and nearly 470,000 Jira tickets. Hackers posted this data on the BreachForums Dark Web. The breach, linked to the Hellcat ransomware group, compromised 15 employees’ credentials and exposed 24,000 employee emails, revealing sensitive internal details and vulnerabilities.
Hot Take:
Looks like Telefonica just got a call from the hackers, and it went straight to voicemail! When your internal systems throw a party and invite the wrong crowd, it’s not the kind of social networking you were hoping for. Maybe next time, their security will be as tight as their customer service wait times.
Key Points:
- Telefonica’s internal systems were breached, affecting 236,000 lines of customer data.
- Hackers posted the stolen Jira database on the BreachForums Dark Web community.
- Three of the four hackers are suspected members of the Hellcat ransomware group.
- Infostealer malware was used to compromise 15 Telefonica employee credentials.
- Stolen data includes sensitive internal Jira issues and employee details.
