Are you a “Lucky Winner” from Equifax?
On Saturday, DataBreaches received a slightly different version of the email vx-underground posted. The “hr.” subdomain triggered a few intact neurons because I had seen hoax emails with the “hr.” subdomain in February. At the time, I had received a number of emails from various addresses, most of which had “hr.” in the senders’ addresses. Two of the February emails contained usernames in the body of the messages that suggested a BreachForums connection. One name I recognized, but the other, I didn’t.
After getting about half a dozen emails, I contacted Pompompurin to ask him if he had any idea why the unrecognized forum user would be sending me somewhat angry or confusing emails. After looking at one header, Pom reminded me that HR.com had been hacked and more than 2 million records had been put up for sale on the forum last August.
