Data Breach Analysis

Certified Collectibles Group operates in the collectibles authentication and grading industry. A breach here could compromise customer records, purchase histories, or even financial transaction data, which may be leveraged in targeted scams or fraud attempts, especially against high-value collectors.

Discord, a popular communication platform for communities and teams, holds user account information including messages, contact details, and in some cases, linked third-party accounts. Breaches affecting Discord can expose personal conversations or sensitive identity data, with risks ranging from harassment to impersonation.

Wired Campus, likely operating in the education or edtech space, may hold student, faculty, or subscriber data. Exposure of this kind of information could lead to phishing attempts or unauthorised access to educational resources and internal systems.

Firefox, as a major web browser, is tied to user data through accounts that sync bookmarks, saved credentials, and browsing history. Compromised Firefox data may provide attackers with extensive insight into an individual's digital activity, which can be exploited for profiling or credential stuffing attacks.

Wix, a website-building platform, potentially exposes both personal account data and information about business websites built through its service. A breach here could not only impact the account holders but also visitors and customers of affected websites.

Spotlight

A technology news platform has had a large portion of its user base recently dumped online. The news site, which covers stories like the latest crypto analysis, economics and Elon Musk's next joke. A team member noticed the data in circulation publicly with hashed SHA256 passwords, mobile numbers, and full names.

And then an AI company with a flashy website and great advertising has suffered a data breach. The company is, in their words, an "AI Ecosystem Platform" that boosts your sales - that old chestnut. It has a lot of funding and has some big brand names as partners plastered across its home page, including Meta. The usual datasets were exposed included along with various biometric data.

And finally, a team member found a treasure trove of breached data within a collection of 500+ breaches exposed online. The exposed data is limited to accounts where encrypted passwords have been 'cracked' to plaintext passwords.
