National Data Breach 2024. In any normal scenario, the news of a leak affecting 1.3 million people would be staggering, but this one is an oddity since many investigators. The breach allegedly occurred around april 2024, with a hacker group called usdod exfiltrating the unencrypted personal information of billions of individuals from a company called national.
The stolen data comes from a data scraping service trading under the name โnational public dataโ which was allegedly breached by a cybercriminal group by the name of usdod. The data broker at the center of what may become one of the more significant breaches of the year is telling officials that just 1.3 million people were affected.
