They claim to have hacked Movistar the data of 22 million customers

Movistar, the Spanish telephony and internet operator, has been the victim of a massive cyber attack in which cybercounts have managed to steal the data of some 22 million clients of the company, as they say for HECMANAC.

The stolen data include sensitive information such as customer DNI, in addition to their telephone number and contracted plans to Telefónica SA

The data is on sale on the Dark Web by a user who calls himself “Dedale”. To demonstrate the veracity of the data achieved in the attack, the cybercriminal offers proof of the data of 1 million customers from Movistar, which, it seems, They would be from Movistar Peru users, So it is not clear that Spanish clients’ data have been affected. Recall that Telefónica has sold its Peruvian subsidiary recently.

The price they ask for the 22 million data is only $ 1,500.

It seems that, at least for the moment, Movistar has not notified this attack on his systems and, remember, Hackmanac usually echoes any hacking advertisement although it has not been verified. In any case, in this case it seems that the attacker would offer evidence to the potential buyers. It would be to see if the attack has taken place against Movistar’s infrastructure or only against one of its filiars.

In any case, if confirmed, it would be a serious violation of user privacy that adds to a growing number of cyber attacks against Spanish companies and institutions.

Currently, according to the statistics of the Hackrisc.io portal, Spain competes for The third position of the world’s most cyber -stated countriesonly surpassed by Ukraine and the United States.
