Hacker gang Cyber Army Russia Reborn claim attack on Malbourne Book Maxi Cab, doesn't have much to show
Learn More
The hacker group self titled Cyber Army Russia Reborn has reportedly targeted Book Maxi Cab Melbourne, a taxi service in Melbourne, Australia. The hacker group allegedly leaked a database on the dark web containing IP addresses of users from the Book Maxi Cab Melbourne website. The leaked data apparently does not include any other personal information.
Accompanying the data, the hackers posted a message indicating the source as Book Maxi Cab Melbourne's website. There is no confirmation of the breach by the taxi company, leaving the claim unverified.
Given that the data is only IP addresses and the claim that the source is a web server indicates that the hackers got their hands on web server logs - which have IP addresses and possibly some browser details, but no PII or other customer data. If the stolen data is limited to the web server logs, this is not a very significant event.
This incident marks the first time Cyber Army Russia Reborn has targeted an Australian entity.
