A Web site accessible via Tor, a software that transfers Internet traffic to a global network of relays, included links to countless documents, drivers licenses, national Ids, scanned passports, and credit agreements taken from Kreditech’s servers.
A group of hackers 'A4' professes to have posted the screen shots of the hundreds of gigabytes documents of Kreditech.
Kreditech head of communications Anna Friedrich said, “There is no access to any customer data. This incident stemmed from a form on our website that was stored data in a caching system that deleted data every few days. What happened was that a subset of application data was affected. We are collaborating with the police, but unfortunately there is no more further information that I have to share.”
Further adding Friedrich said that Kreditech believes the data was leaked by an insider, can be former or current employee.
