High Exposure

Bill Gates is the latest victim of a series of hacks targeting celebrities and getting their private information exposed to the world. A group of hackers who already published Social Security Numbers, Credit Reports and banking details, addresses etc. for several other high profiles, is still enjoying an undisrupted run.

Equifax recently confirmed being breached which certainly gives more credibility to the story that is currently unfolding. While the U.S Secret Service is currently investigating the matter, even US President Obama commented on these incidents.

Here is what we know so far: • The website hosting this information is using the CloudFlare service. • Its TLD (Top Level Domain name) is .su which stands for Soviet Union.

We will not disclose the site’s URL but given the information posted and the recent report from Equifax we are taking it seriously. Identifying the perpetrators and their origin might prove difficult but it is certainly puzzling that the site has not been shut down yet.
