U.S. business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan was breached after data from an unsecured backup folder exposed on the Internet was sold on a hacker forum.

On Monday, a group known as 'KelvinSecurity Team' posted to a hacker forum stating that they were selling various databases related to Frost & Sullivan's employees and customers.
KelvinSecurity states that they are 'Business Intelligence Contractors', but a report by InfoArmor describes them as a group known for less legal activities.

In the forum post, the group states that the data being sold includes 6,000 customer records and 6,146 records for companies.

When asked why they were selling the data, they stated that they had tried to contact the company but received no response. To generate 'alarm,' they decided to sell the data to get Frost & Sullivan to respond.

"It was not a purpose to take a database and sell it. We have tried to get in contact, but like many companies, they do not answer our requests, and we sell the database to generate an alarm and quote with these companies," KelvinSecurity Team told BleepingComputer.

A database of 384,319 BMW car owners in the U.K. is being offered for sale on an underground forum by the KelvinSecurity Team hacking group, according to KELA, a darknet threat intelligence firm, based in Tel Aviv.

The hacking group, which last week tried to sell databases related to U.S. business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, made the BMW data available, including initials and last names, emails, addresses, vehicle numbers, dealer names, among other information.
In addition, the group reportedly dumped for free 28 databases affecting entities in Mexico, Iran, U.S., Australia, Sweden, France and Indonesia.

According to KELA, the threat actor claimed that the BMW data came from a “call center” that manages customers of different car suppliers. KELA said it obtained the database and found that it contains almost 500,000 customer records from 2016 to 2018, also affecting U.K. owners of other car manufacturers, including Mercedes, SEAT, Honda and Hyundai, among others.
