Telefónica is in full research on A possible “hacking” that allegedly affects 22 million records of customers who have the contracted services of Movistar. Although it has not yet been formalized by either of these two media, everything indicates that the illegal practice of a cybercriminal has jeopardized the personal information of those affected. At the moment, the name of the offender is known and identified as “Dedale”. Likewise, as a conditioning and proof of the hardness of its operation, it has leaked a database with a million records.
However, it is possible to identify between user and registration, because a single client has several of them. That is to say, A registration for example, for example, the name and surname of the individual, while another can assume the national identity document of the same. In this way, the filtration of several personal data of much of the injured is confirmed. Although the number of these records depends on each Movistar account, in this way it is clarified that the figure of 22 million does not constitute an equal figure of affected per se.
The first filtration: one million records
At the moment, the leaked information, which has been notified by the Hackmanack cybersecurity company, “includes confidential details such as Complete names, national identification numbers (DNI), mobile phone numbers, service plans and state updates”, As they say. At the moment, the leaked documents belong to Peru but, these only comprise the first million of the published base. As reported according to the analyzed, it is not estimated that this problem leaves the country in question.
It is curious that just the “hacking” affects the Peruvian territory because Telefónica, in mid -April of this year, He sold his subsidiary in Peru to the Argentine firm Integra Tec International. The transaction was valued at approximately 3.7 million Peruvian soles, which is about 900,000 euros to the change. In this way, currently, this company has 100% of the participation of Telefónica Peru, that is, the entire activity.
“We are investigating an alleged security gap. The exhibition published Monday by the actor, Composed of one million records, it would correspond to customers from Peru“, they say from Telefónica.
The author’s economic claim
Likewise, the problem of the problem has reported on the reward he claims to cease his illicit activity. The figure in this regard amounts to $ 1,500, which makes up a total of $ 1,316.70. This amount is ridiculous, since in these types of cases the demand is usually considerable and not testimonial, as is the case. This factor raises even more the uncertainty that involves the case and the enigmatic spirit of it.
The incessant digitalization of all vital aspects sometimes transcends the limits of the small screen and brings to the real world news like this. The dangers of the network, directly related to cybersecurity, are unknown in many cases and carelessness like this can severely affect millions of people. This is how this example is another sample of the facilities with which cybercounts operate in the digital environment and the vulnerability of the systems, however armored they seem.
