Stolen clubhouse and facebook accounts: on sale for $ 100,000
The accounts in question, according to what was declared by the hacker himself, were stolen through the scraping technique, or thanks to the use of a software designed ad hoc for the purpose, while the request of the cyber criminal amounts for now to $ 100,000 for the entire database. This archive not only contains Clubhouse data, however, but also a range of personal information.
In addition to the aforementioned Facebook accounts, the archive also contains names and telephone numbers, but above all the user’s position based on the suffixes of telephone numbers and Facebook contacts, useful for possibly reconstructing a potential network to be attacked. It is also to be considered that data thefts of these entities often give way to massive phishing campaigns.
The listing of this database dates back to early September and is already the third theft that Clubhouse has suffered in a relatively short period of time. raises the eyebrow on the social network’s ability to cope with the scraping technique. A phenomenon from which not even Facebook is immune in any case, given that in April the popular social network suffered the theft of over 500 million profiles in the same way.
