"Cybercriminals Share Millions of Stolen Records During Holiday Break"

In the days leading up to Christmas, cybercriminals leaked 50 million records on the dark web containing sensitive personal information. Many of the leaks on the dark web were labeled "Free Leaksmas," which could mean the threat actors were sharing their data with other cybercriminals out of mutual gratitude and to attract new customers. Researchers at Resecurity observed several threat actors releasing large data dumps nearly simultaneously on and just before Christmas Eve. Some of the data seemed to be from previous data breaches, but several other dumps appeared to be from new breaches, stolen, or copied from users. This article continues to discuss new findings regarding the Leaksmas event on the dark web.
