Sp1d3r, a dark web actor, allegedly stole 2 TB of compressed data from QuoteWizard, a US-based insurance business. According to the threat actor’s post, over 190 million people’s sensitive personal data was compromised in this alleged QuoteWizard data breach, which was made public on the dark web forum nuovo BreachForums.
The threat actor also claim that the cyberattack on QuoteWizard produced stolen data that included a variety of documents including personally identifiable information (PII), including complete names, partially completed credit card numbers, driving records, and other background information.
Furthermore, it was reported that the stolen dataset included more than 3 billion tracking pixel data entries, including addresses, ages, mobile information, and accident at-fault details. Sp1d3r provided a few sample entries from the database and suggested a high asking price of USD 2 million for prospective customers in order to support the assertions.
