Exclusive: The sample data seen by Hackread.com suggests Bhinneka’s database was stolen in January 2020.
Mostly, when an attacker gains access to a database, they try to profit off it either through a ransom or by listing it for sale. Sometimes though due to reasons such as revenge or perhaps ol’ fashioned fun, attackers dump the databases online making them freely available.
A case of the latter has emerged today when a hacker posted the database of one of Indonesia’s largest online store named Bhinneka on a hacker forum.

The database was initially hacked on 27 January earlier this year but has now been put out in the open by the attacker. The downloadable folder contains 2 SQL files which contain the records of approximately 1,262,300 accounts in totality.

These worth 762 MBs include the following fields:
Unique IDs
Full names
Email addresses
Gender
Contact numbers
Passwords
Address details
Date of Births(DOBs)
Social media IDs
Log details such as the last login information
Classification of whether the user is an admin or a staff member which also hints that the database may include employee details.
An interesting and perhaps comforting aspect though is that one of the fields is labeled as “Salt”. This means that whoever obtains access to the data will have a hard time cracking the passwords through brute-forcing prolonging the process.
