From the Source, we found that the sensitive personal data which belongs to the Taiwanese people that was around 20 million has been found on the Darknet market as it statement mentioned by threat intelligence.

On May 29, 2020, A blog mentioned the underground retailer of data breach spoils and it was also mentioned that the source of the leak was the ministry of the Interior’s Department of Household Registration.

Some of the blogs and news claimed that the news is not really confirmed may because the database which leaked may be removed from the underground marketplace.

Data around 20 million

The database size is around 3.5 GB which contains citizen’s full names, Postal addresses, phone numbers, Genders, Date of Birth, Government IDs according to cyble.

The company claimed that our team found the leaked database on the dark web which was shared by the “Toogod”.The database contained the whole “Taiwan Country home registry DB” which compromised around 20 Million+ records.

As total Taiwan’s population came across 23.8 million.

Cyble also said that we can’t exactly claim that this amount of data leaked only.

According to the cyber attacker, it was claimed that data leaked in 2019, and the last DOB records were from 2008. It was clear that if the whole database leaked then the whole database. After this, you can’t claim that only this amount.

Hence, After more research, they found that some of the records area ‘NULL/empty’ then it is hard to claim the exact recent it is.

Cyble says that it has already acquired the database and may plan to fill the data in the data breach search engine.

According to the source, The Taiwan’s CERT company which is mainly known for Taiwan’s Computer Emergency Response Team that they are still investigating the leak.

If the leaked database is real then it was the largest-ever government data-breaches.

A large portion of the country population was the exposure in 2015 of the similarly personal data belonging to 191 million US voters in a misconfigured.

Taiwan’s Government official statements have not yet come about the data breach but they are investigating for the right portion of information. May they come with good statements and above all the statements are from the resources like news and blog.
