The claim was made by a user named “SSL_Dragon” on a well-known dark web forum, sparking concerns over the security of customer and corporate data. If verified, this breach could have far-reaching implications for the company and its stakeholders.
According to reports from ThreatMon, the leaked data reportedly includes over 22 million customer records, as well as critical internal systems and databases. The exposed information is said to span multiple categories, including customer personal details, employee data from the HR system, and operational insights from the company's internal platforms.
