N4ughtySecTU has posted a Cell C contract subscriber database, and an ANC member database to prove they have stolen data from TransUnion.
The group claiming responsibility for the attack on TransUnion, N4ughtySecTU, has posted a Cell C customer database as part of a series of leaks to prove their claims.Both databases contain names, ID numbers, and cellphone numbers.
According to the metadata of the leaked files, the ANC database is from 21 August 2017, while the Cell C database is dated 3 October 2010. N4ughtySecTU said they made off with 4,328 gigabytes of data, including a TransUnion database for one of its products, and a Department of Home Affairs database containing the identity information of 54 million South Africans.TransUnion has maintained that the incident impacted an isolated server holding limited data from its South African business.
TransUnion has not answered MyBroadband’s questions about this data, only saying that it believes the 54-million record database N4ughtySecTU has is from a 2017 data incident unrelated to TransUnion. MyBroadband contacted Cell C for comment, which explained that it relies on credit bureaus to decide on the creditworthiness of prospective customers.
