An “established” threat actor claimed to possess two million data records stolen from the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population.
The allegations, made on the hacker forum Popürler, were observed on July 25, 2023 by cyber threat intelligence provider SOCRadar and dark web surveillance firm Falcon Feeds.
Posted by the attackers, the database contains comprehensive personal patient information including names, IDs, decision numbers, national numbers, phone numbers, addresses, procedure classification details, diagnoses, and treatment details.
Hackers provided a sample dataset containing data on 1000 people to support this claim.
The threat actor “is known to have sold a database allegedly belonging to an Indonesian organization last week and instructed potential buyers to contact them through the messaging app Telegram.” Evidence points to financial gain as the primary motive behind these actions,” SOCRadar said on its dark web monitoring platform.
