A financially motivated hacking group, GhostR, claimed they stole 5.3 million records from the World-Check database, potentially impacting customer screening for financial crimes and sanctions.
The stolen data includes individuals currently sanctioned, government officials, suspected terrorists, and politically exposed persons, posing a significant risk for corruption and bribery.
London Stock Exchange Group stated that the hack involved a third party's data set and confirmed the illegal acquisition of the World-Check data, with no dispute over the quantity stolen.
