A notorious threat actor known as IC3 has recently released sensitive databases from prominent global entities—including United Colors of Benetton (India), Watchmax (UK), and Tennessee Farmers Insurance (US)—on the dark web. The leaked data includes a vast array of personal information such as names, dates of birth, contact details, and even insurance-related specifics. This breach has raised significant concerns about the security and privacy of sensitive information belonging to customers and clients across various industries.
The dark web activity orchestrated by IC3 was first reported on the BreachForums on February 5, 2024. The leaked databases include a staggering 500,000 records from the United Colors of Benetton data breach, 15,000 records from the Watchmax breach, and 71,000 records from the Tennessee Farmers Insurance Companies data leak. These compromised databases have impacted operations in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, affecting customers and clients across continents.
The compromised websites include in.benetton.com, watchmax.co.uk, and fbitn.com. IC3, the threat actor, posted on BreachForums, shedding light on the extent of the breach on Watchmax. The luxury jeweler’s data leak from 2022 contains customer information, with 15,000 lines disclosing details such as names, emails, addresses, and more.
Efforts have been made to contact the affected organizations to gather insights into the aftermath of the United Colors of Benetton data breach and other data leaks in this attack. However, as of now, no official statements or responses have been received, leaving the claims of the data breach on the dark web unconfirmed. This lack of communication raises questions about the severity of the breach and the urgency of implementing security measures to mitigate the potential fallout.
It is imperative to closely monitor the situation surrounding the United Colors of Benetton data breach, Watchmax breach, and Tennessee Farmers Insurance Companies data leak. Regular updates will be provided to ensure that individuals, customers, and the public are informed about any developments in the aftermath of these distressing cyber incidents.
