What happened with US Green Card Database?
Attention! If you are going to receive a Green Card - be careful because an anonymous hacker group has put up for sale all the personal data of the US Green Card staff and applicants.
What happened? A few hours earlier, a message appeared on a hacker forum on the DarkNet that the personal data of applicants of the Green Card were up for sale. The leaked 2.14 GB database contains the 254 database tables and data of over 500,000 people!
What kind of data did leak?
The leaked database contains almost all personal information about the US Green Card staff and applicants, namely:
- IP addresses of users
- Nationality
- Personal correspondence of users
- Immigration user codes and application status
- Phone numbers
- Place of residence
Also, the seller of the database claims that he chose a random user from the table and was able to find out his nationality, all the information about his phone, and even the details of his personal life!
Also, the leaked database stores all information about employers. The hackers have gone too far this time!
It's a dangerous information leak that endangers hundreds of thousands of people across the United States.
The seller with the name “Jimbzo” has set a price of $750 for a database leak and will ensure that for that price, the buyer will also receive all database updates. It means that cybercriminals are planning to carry out even more widespread theft of user data.
