The hacking gang that breached Medibank's systems may also be the hackers who are providing access info to Deutsche Bank's systems on the darknet. As a result, there has been a significant attack on Deutsche Bank.
Malicious actors (0x dump) are allegedly selling internet access to the network of the large international investment bank Deutsche Bank after claiming to have hacked it. The bank's internal networks appeared to be available for sale on Telegram by an initial access broker, but Deutsche Bank has denied that its systems have been compromised (IAB).
Data Breach Incident
Hackers said, "We are offering further network access of a specific bank, We have DA (direct access), the domain contains about 21 k workstations set primarily with Windows."
The notice was placed next to an image of the Frankfurt headquarters of Deutsche Bank with the Deutsche Bank emblem overlaid on it.
One of several experts to disclose the revelation made by the initial access broker on Telegram was the security researcher Dominic Alvieri.
The IAB asserts access to some 21000 Windows-based machines on the bank's network. It further states that a Symantec EDR solution with 16 terabytes of data was used to defend the hacked devices.
Access to 7.5 Bitcoin from the Deutsche Bank, valued at about $156,274, is being made available by the IAB.
According to ransomware researcher Dominic Alvieri, Ox dump is the same broker who provided access to Medibank's systems, the Australian health insurance company that had 9.7 million client and employee details stolen last month.
Personal information exposed in the data breach includes names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Medicare numbers for clients, and occasionally passport numbers for our overseas students. It also includes some information about health benefits.
According to Lawrence Abrams of Bleeping Computer, it is not the same hackers who took the data from Medibank, rather, it is a suspected initial access broker. However, it might be the same individual who provided the ransomware gang with access to the network.
