Modern companies use various strategies to thwart the persistent attempts of hackers. However, in many cases it is not an offensive measure that breaches sensitive data but simple misconfigurations.
VIJAY SALES
On March 2nd, 2020, a notorious threat actor posted a leaked Vijay Sales database on a popular dark web hacker forum. Vijay Sales is a large electronics retail store chain in India, with nearly two hundred thousand users affected in the leak. The threat actor claimed the source was from an “exposed backup server” breached in February 2020.

The user records included names, email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, and device information. In addition, a total of 90 files were found that also included thousands of customer service records, detailed store and personnel information, business operations information, and numerous administrative accounts that contained usernames, email addresses, passwords, verification codes, and roles.
