In a security incident, a threat actor, identified as the group R00TK1T, successfully infiltrated the security measures of Silk’n, a global company, where the attacker gained unauthorized access to a customer database, compromising the personal information of 300,000 customers worldwide.
The exposed data includes sensitive details such as names, addresses, and phone numbers. To exacerbate the impact of this data breach, the attacker group claims to have published this stolen data on a private channel under their control.
This disclosure of sensitive information places Silk’n’s customers at significant risk of identity theft, phishing attacks, and other cybercrimes. Social engineering scams, where attackers attempt to trick or manipulate victims into revealing personal information or clicking malicious links, are another potential consequence of this data breach.
Malicious actors can exploit the leaked data to impersonate legitimate companies or individuals, tricking victims into sharing sensitive information or making fraudulent payments.
