Nestle has been targeted again by a different hacking group.

A total of 8 breach events were found and analysed resulting in 8,350,259 exposed accounts containing a total of 11 different data types of personal datum . The breaches found publicly and freely available included DatPiff, Royal Enfield, Turnover IT, Systematica Consulting and AKPR.

Data Breach Analysis

Among the breaches, DatPiff, a long-standing digital platform specialising in mixtapes and hip-hop content, stands out. With its strong following among music enthusiasts and independent artists, a data compromise on such a platform could have a disproportionate impact on younger digital users, artists, and small creators who may reuse credentials across platforms. Exposure here could lead to account takeovers and broader access to linked social and media profiles.

Royal Enfield, the globally recognised motorcycle manufacturer, represents the high-profile consumer automotive sector in this data set. Breaches involving companies in the transportation or vehicle retail sector often include customer profiles tied to high-value purchases, service appointments, and marketing systems. Exposed data in this context could increase the risk of spear-phishing campaigns or fraudulent warranty and service claims, especially where personal or location-based information is involved.

Turnover IT and Systematica Consulting fall within the IT services and consulting industry, sectors often entrusted with internal systems, enterprise infrastructure, or sensitive client operations. Breaches in these contexts can pose risks not only to internal employees but also to the customers or partners that rely on them. Consultants and MSPs often serve as indirect entry points for attackers seeking lateral access to larger organisational networks.

AKPR, though less widely known, adds to the list as another example of how small to mid-size enterprises are frequently swept up in the broader ecosystem of security exposures. Even companies with lower public visibility may store business-critical information, from operational documentation to employee or client records, which becomes vulnerable if systems are not adequately protected or segregated.

The cumulative total of over 8.3 million exposed accounts in this round of breaches shows how even smaller incidents, when aggregated, can represent large-scale digital exposure. While the specifics of the compromised data types were not analysed here, the presence of user accounts across such varied industries suggests a potentially wide range of impacts, from identity risk and financial fraud to reputational damage and business disruption.

This diverse snapshot serves as a reminder that organisations of all sizes and sectors, whether consumer platforms, manufacturers, or B2B consultancies, are interconnected through shared data ecosystems. When one node is compromised, the ripple effects can extend far beyond its immediate users.

The breaches reinforce the importance of not only perimeter defence but also internal data hygiene: practices such as minimising data retention, applying strong authentication controls, segmenting internal systems, and continuously auditing access privileges. Moreover, individuals should be cautious about reusing credentials across services and should consider password managers and multi-factor authentication to reduce personal exposure.

In conclusion, these eight breach events exemplify the cross-industry nature of today’s cyber threat environment. With millions of accounts now publicly exposed, proactive mitigation, both organisational and personal, remains essential in limiting the fallout from ongoing and future breaches.

Spotlight

When searching for publicly available compromised data, there are numerous sites that just re-post old data and come across as quite 'scary' but fortunately our researchers have learnt and gained experience over time on what is real and what is surfing the hactivist wave.

We did have a record set last week with the researchers noting a domain that was registered on the 26th March but was compromised before the 30th! Under four days! There were some unique elements about it as it was a Russian domain but it demonstrated the amount of increased activity going on in the 'cyber battle' due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Nestle has been targeted again, a very small breach by a different hacking group, but that is two weeks in a row now for Nestle. Their supply chain is truly global and far reaching.

Virtual MacOSX details with VNS login credentials were also posted on a popular underground forum. Virtual MacOSX, also known as vmOSX, is a Canadian web hosting service.

One of the best sources of rich data types for cyber criminals is recruitment companies and we noticed a well known French portal for companies looking for freelance IT and IS Specialists, dumped on a forum. These sort of data breaches go beyond the usual data types exposed (email address, password and username), they include the likes of dates of birth, account information, payment types, physical location, phone numbers, experience, etc. Those data types offer opportunities for account takeover, phishing, spam and fraud.

For organisations the risks could extend to threat of misdirection, ransomware and vulnerability exposure. Combined the impact to your people’s wellbeing, finance and employment could be considerable with a direct impact to your organisation.
