More than 40,000 Phone House customers in the islands have been affected by the cyberattack recently suffered by the company, according to the Canary Islands Observatory of Computer Crimes.
From this entity they explain that they have analyzed the files that were in the deep web to determine what personal information has been compromised. "Unfortunately, we find a worrying reality, as sensitive information is exposed, such as customer identifiers, ID, some passports, emails (many of them repeated and considered false), mobile phone numbers (most of them correct), landlines, date of birth, nationality, physical addresses, postal codes, provinces, cities, bank accounts (IBAN)...", they point out.
In addition, they add that "in many cases, the stores from which customers registered also appear".
The Observatory recalls that the telephone company already confirmed in a statement the leakage of all the information exposed from the Deep Web due to an attack suffered on April 11 by means of Ransomware 'Babuk'. "Those who carried out the attack would have seized several Phone House databases, exposing records of up to 3 million customers and employees on the Deep Web," they emphasize.
Regarding the company, they emphasize that "it complied with the obligation to communicate these attacks and breaches to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD)", and that the events have been reported to the Central Brigade of Technological Investigation (BCIT) of the National Police.
