Passport details of 1.5 million Russians leaked to Internet

According to the Security Lab portal, the scans leak was a result of hacking the servers of Oriflame, a cosmetics and wellness firm.

The leak came out in early August. Then the first part of the database with 800,000 images of passports of citizens of Kazakhstan and Georgia was disclosed.

Then the cybercriminals declared that they were in possession of about 4 terabytes of data in total, which also included information about the citizens of Ukraine, Great Britain, China and Spain.

After that, the hackers made the scans of Russians’ passports publicly available. The total size of the archive is 809 gigabytes.

The Security Lab has suggested that the criminals failed to come to terms with Oriflame regarding the ransom, so they intend to post the stolen archive on the darknet in full, dividing the data by country.
