Hacker breaches 79 banks, releases data of 1,700 accounts

Hacker breaches 79 banks, releases data of 1,700 accounts

The hack which was posted via Twitter and Pastebin links to a downloadable file on Anonfiles. The 50 GB, 113-page data dump includes names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers in unencrypted text. However, there are no credit card numbers tied to these addressed. Reckz0r said that he did not attack Visa and MasterCard directly, but hit more than 79 large banks over a time frame of three months.
Of course, the fact that no credit card numbers were exposed and the attack was not targeted at customers is of little comfort to those who are affected.
