Royal Mail Group, the UK’s centuries-old postal institution, has allegedly suffered a massive data breach resulting in the leak of 144GB of internal files, CUSTOMER INFORMATION, and marketing data.
Hackers gained access to Royal Fail systems using the credentials of a Spectos employee compromised in a 2021 info stealer malware incident.
While the breach hasn’t been confirmed by Royal Mail, the company has acknowledged the issue through their vendor, Spectos.
If the data is genuine, it could have a wide impact. For customers, it means their details are now out there, which could lead to scams, spam, or even identity theft.
