"A database that is allegedly associated with Russell Cellular has been published on a popular hacker forum for $1,200, reportedly containing 61GB of data. The cybercriminal uploaded file samples to prove their possession of the data, and according to the research team, the data appears to be structured and legitimate in appearance."
"The exposed information includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, contract details, account numbers, invoice and tracking numbers, device models and selected tariff plans, device identifiers such as ESN and IMEI/SN, and employee information including usernames, passwords and access roles."
"In the case of leaked passwords, some are displayed in plaintext while others are hashed. This could indicate that internal system access is at risk."
Russell Cellular, one of the United States' largest Verizon Authorized Retailers, potentially experienced a significant data breach affecting more than 6.3 million customers. A database allegedly associated with the company was published on a hacker forum for $1,200, containing approximately 61GB of data. The cybercriminal provided file samples as proof of possession, and security researchers confirmed the data appears legitimate and well-structured. The exposed information includes customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, contract details, account numbers, invoice and tracking numbers, device models, tariff plans, device identifiers, and employee information including usernames and passwords. Some passwords appear in plaintext while others are hashed, suggesting potential internal system compromise. Russell Cellular has not yet confirmed the authenticity of the leaked data.
