Hacker Claims Stolen Data from Credit Agency TransUnion, Company Denies Breach

Recently, a hacker operating under the pseudonym “USDoD” posted a 3GB database on the dark web, alleging that it contained sensitive information stolen from the credit agency TransUnion. The database, shared on the underground site BreachForums, purportedly contained personally identifiable information (PII) for over 58,000 individuals, including some TransUnion customers.

The compromised data encompassed full names, internal TransUnion identifiers, passport details such as birthdates and places of birth, marital status, age, employer information, credit scores, and loan details.
