Mainstream Story
According to the report which is circulated on the internet”the hacker who breached the data has a connection from the Korean hacking group which executed this plan successfully and sold all the data on the hackers’ forums”.
Hackers group shared some of the proof that they have access to the ZEE5’s Private code which are confirmed by the monitoring team and it was said that the access proof is correct the hack happened between the end of February or March.
Few Days after the hackers shared the other sample which is a very serious concern because this sample has the live code secret keys and credentials of the unsecured AWS.
The last breach was also detected on the 24th April 2020 and clearly indicated that the hacker has access to recently subscribed users and the database which contains user details among every state of India.
The database breach which we are talking about has the records of the “Payment Platform”.This is really becoming a big deal for the company that the user data with payment details that mainly harms the users who are connected with the ZEE5.
According to Ralph Wagner “We don’t manage the Zee5 Database and nor the Mysql database which are mentioned. I will investigate the whole breach and then we will share the proper details’
The leaked data includes which such information like :
- Email Address
- Mobile Numbers
- Recent transaction
- Passwords
An Email sent to the different news agency which mentions “will expose your database & code in public for the open sale soon”
The Email address si sends from a secure and encrypted email service which cannot be able to trace the email. The mail send from the hacker through “hckindi@tutanota.com “
This email server is used in different campaigns like Dharma ransomware and the same email address which is seen used by the Korean hacker.
This is not the first time this hacking happens with the ZEE5. This all breach happens and the company says or takes any action on the breach.
