Hackers merged on the Internet data of 7.5 million Russians: all of them are Tele2 subscribers

Information about the participants of the Russian Operator Loyalty Program Tele2 was accessible. According to the Telegram channel "Information", a hacker who wished to maintain anonymity, draining a database containing more than 7. 5 million Russians into the network. About it reports habr. com. DLBI experts who analyze the leakage and monitoring Darknet have found that the database consists of 7 530 149 lines.

Each line includes names, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, which are participants in the Tele2 loyalty program. Experts believe that the leakage has occurred in BERCUT. com because the base has a BERCUT_CONTACT_ID ID. The Tele2 mobile communication operator has confirmed the drain. The company reported that subscribers are not threatened, as you can find such data in other open sources.

However, Tele2 decided to conduct an internal investigation, during which it was found that one of the operator's partners was broken, and therefore the responsibility for the leak lies on it. "Our own systems are securely protected, the fact of leakage on the Tele2 side is completely excluded," the operator's representatives commented. Recall that Tele2 is a subsidiary of the State Corporation "Rostelecom". In 2020, the operator numbered more than 46 million subscribers.
