In a new trend, cybersecurity experts are now uncovering suspects through unconventional means such as compromised accounting data, browser profiles, and other systemic information being shared on Telegram. Attackers are inadvertently exposing themselves by infecting their own devices with malicious software, allowing researchers and law enforcement agencies to identify them.
Last week, Hudson Rock, a cybersecurity company, made headlines in 2021 after its researchers discovered one of the largest data leaks in history. They found a database containing 533 million Facebook social accounts openly published on the Internet. This revelation sparked widespread discussions regarding the security and confidentiality of online platforms, shedding light on the critical importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape.
