The group that the Rex Mundi In recent years in many Belgian companies and also a Dutch company managed to break all has stolen private data now put online. In total for the individual data of at least a thousand Dutch and tens of thousands of Belgians, according to research from Security.NL.

The blackmailers threatened to publish the data unless a ransom was paid. If known, the affected companies were not in here. Last Tuesday, the group published an “archive” of earlier stolen data. The data comes from the Dutch employment agency Accord, Italian hosting provider Websolutions, Canadian recruitment agency Drake International, hosting provider Alfahosting, credit bureau Buy Way, Domino’s Pizza, HR business EasyPay, employment agency Exaris, medical supervisors Mensura ISP Numericable and agencies Tobasco, Z -Staffing and Xtra Interim. These last ten companies are all from Belgium.

The line is now published information from resumes, names, addresses, email addresses, unencrypted passwords, applications, reason that employees were absent, cell phone numbers, passwords for system administrators and more data. A quick inventory of the data shows that this is data from tens of thousands of people. So are at least a thousand Dutch now the private information online. This is data that has already been captured in July 2012. Especially with the data from the medical supervisors or applications there are often very privacy-sensitive matters mentioned.

Rex Mundi placed the data previously often on sites like Pastebin, where they were removed after a short time. Now placed online archive is on the Tor network, which makes it difficult to retrieve the page from the air. The group said in a statement that, among other things for fun and challenge for companies is broken, but that it is ultimately to make the money.
