Hacker Flogs Azure Directory Data From McDonald's, Vodafone and a Stack of Fortune 500 Names
A threat actor known as 'TheHatman' is selling data allegedly stolen from the Azure tenants of multiple Fortune 500 companies, including McDonald's, TCS, Vodafone, and Wyndham Hotels, with the McDonald's dataset alone containing over 1.7 million records. The data, which appears to have been exfiltrated using leaked credentials from a targeted infostealer campaign, includes sensitive employee information such as names, email addresses, job titles, and privileged account details. Security firm Hudson Rock warns the breach poses a serious risk, as the exposed data could enable attackers to conduct spear-phishing, business email compromise, and privilege escalation attacks against the affected organisations.
