Miami tech company Intcomex suffers major data breach
Miami-based tech company Intcomex has suffered a major data breach, with nearly 1 TB of its users’ data leaked. Likely following a botched ransom negotiation, the first part was made available on September 14, 2020, and more on September 20. The leaker promised to release the rest of the stolen database over an undisclosed period of time.
Researchers from CyberNews.com discovered the leaked data on an open Russian forum. At present, files titled ‘Internal Audit’ and ‘Finance ER’ have been published. According to the leaker, the remaining data is the most sensitive and includes full credit card details, SSNs, passport and license scans, payroll information, bank documents, and more.
