Threat actors USDoD and SXUL are claiming a major data breach involving approximately 70 million rows of sensitive data linked to a criminal database. The data is disclosed on the breach forum LeakBase.
The supposed data breach, which includes information from 2020 to 2024, was shared in a .csv format, totaling 3GB when compressed and 22GB uncompressed. Although specific prisons involved were not disclosed, the sample data shared allegedly includes detailed records of at least three convicted individuals. USDoD clarified that the breach stemmed from the United States.
The leaked data reportedly includes:
- Unique identification numbers,
- Social Security Numbers,
- Full names,
- Dates of birth,
- Birth states,
- Physical features,
- Home and alternate addresses,
- Offense codes,
- Offense dates,
- Offense descriptions,
- Court dispositions,
- Conviction dates,
- Dates of charges.
If confirmed to be true, the scope and sensitive nature of the breached data pose significant risks for affected individuals, including potential identity theft and fraud.
So far law enforcement or government officials have not commented nor confirmed the data breach.
