A threat actor is selling a database allegedly containing the personal details of over 176 million Pakistani citizens. Apparently, the database is a compilation of data belonging to different telecom companies in the country and dumped altogether for sale.
Currently, some of the major telecom companies in Pakistan include Zong, Warid, Ufone, Telenor, and Jazz (Previously Mobilink & Warid).
According to sample data seen by Hackread.com, the information in the database includes:
City
Full name
Full address
Phone number
IMSI number
Activation date and status
