Hide ▲

A North African government technology authority suffered a data leak after attackers hijacked its central account server and exfiltrated a credential database containing over 300,000 national identity records and more than half a million company registry records. The exposed data raises the risk of identity abuse, account takeover, and downstream targeting of listed people and companies. The compromise was reached through VPN appliance credentials and was attributed after the intrusion.
