DLBI: 118 million unique records flowed in the first quarter

Experts recorded growth by more than 2 times compared to the same period last year.

In the first quarter of the current year, the leaks exceeded 118 million unique records, Kommersant writes with reference to the Russian data reconnaissance service and Darknet Darknet (Data Leakage & Breach Intelligence). This is 2.3 times higher than for the same period last year. Experts see the reasons for the growth of attacks on companies providing IT-avusing services, including in the field of security, the demand for which has been gaining momentum since 2022.

According to the report, companies that transfer data processing to contractors or trust them with infrastructure management are often worse. If hackers manage to hack the contractor, they get access to all his customers. Kiberataki through contractors and supply chains today are one of the most dangerous, and market participants confirm.

The largest leaks for the reporting period were a double leakage of data from the Sberspasibo bonus program (52.5 million records) and the Sportmaster network (46 million records), as well as the ZDRAVCity.ru Internet aphections (8.9 million records),

In 2022, the total volume of the analyzed leaks, according to DLBI, amounted to 99.8 million unique e-mail addresses and 109.7 million unique phone numbers. Then the founder of the DLBI service Ashot Oganesyan said that this indicator can be correlated with the population of Russia, where the majority has only one telephone number, and say that last year 75% of all residents of Russia or 85% of adult residents and older generation flowed last year.
