March 2023 by Menlo Security
After the Latitude Financial cyber attack, the comment from the Menlo Labs team about this situation:
"Concerning Latitude Financial, upon conducting analysis, Menlo Labs discovered that the company was mentioned on a dark web forum in 2021 (The forum specializes in selling financial information, such as bank accounts, credit cards and so forth). It also appears that the credentials of 79 employees (information was not checked for duplicates or accuracy of the credentials) have been leaked, which could potentially grant unauthorized access to the company’s systems.
Credentials for a wide range of employees, including C-level, were possibly leaked/compromised. Personal and company information may have been compromised/accessed, including addresses and phone numbers. These credentials were made for sale starting March 14th starting at 25GBP per identity data set."
