Love Electric Breach: 877,000 Driver Records Offered for $600
A forum seller is offering 877,000 driver records from UK EV salary-sacrifice broker Love Electric for $600; researchers found the sample looks authentic.
A seller named seraphims advertised 877,000 records from Love Electric Financial Services, an Edinburgh-based FCA-regulated EV salary sacrifice broker, for $600 in cryptocurrency. Ransomnews analysts verified a 999-row SQL Server export containing names, addresses, National Insurance numbers, and driving licence numbers, with internal relationships and licence-format checks consistent with genuine production data. The full record count remains unverified, and the company had not commented at publication; the breach highlights risks from third-party payroll-adjacent providers.
McDonald’s Employee Data Appears in Leak, Seller Claims 1.7M Records Stolen
A seller offers 1.7 million McDonald's employee records allegedly taken from its Azure tenant via compromised credentials; an 8,000-row sample verifies as genuine.
A forum seller named TheHatman posted an 8,000-row sample of McDonald's employee directory data, claiming a 1.7 million-record haul pulled directly from the company's Azure tenant using compromised credentials. Ransomnews analysis found authentic Entra ID export artifacts, including genuine domains, tenant-internal addresses, encoding errors, and truncated HR fields, but could not verify the data's age or the 1.7 million figure. The same seller listed nine datasets in 16 days covering about 3.6 million records across McDonald's, Vodafone, Gap, hotels, and IT outsourcers, suggesting infostealer-driven credential resale. No passwords or hashes appear in the sample, so the primary risk is social engineering.
Condé Nast Data of 32.8 Million Users Offered for Sale After WIRED Leak
A 32.8 million-record Conde Nast user database is offered for $15,000 on a Russian cybercrime forum, extending December's WIRED leak with millions of unseen records.
A database of 32,815,767 Conde Nast user records went on sale on 7 September 2026 for $15,000 on a Russian-language forum, containing names, addresses, birth dates and phone numbers but no passwords or payment data. Ransomnews verified a 5,000-record sample as genuine account data collected between September and late October 2025, with roughly 30.5 million non-WIRED records never previously published. The listing matches the December 2025 WIRED leak of 2,366,576 records, claimed by an actor called 'Lovely' who said 40+ million records were stolen via IDOR and broken access controls. Conde Nast has not confirmed the breach; exposed data enables credible targeted phishing and fraud.
412,000 The Town 2025 Ticket Buyers’ Data Hits the Dark Web
A forum seller is offering 412,192 The Town 2025 ticket buyer records, mostly Brazilian with CPF numbers, marketed for bank fraud, loans and SIM registration.
A seller on a Russian-language forum listed a database of 412,192 Latin American ticket purchase records from The Town 2025 festival in Sao Paulo for $10,000, with 251,557 Brazilian records (61% of the total). Data includes names, emails, CPF numbers, phones, neighborhoods, ticket types and payment details, and the seller explicitly markets CPFs for Brazilian bank fraud, loans and SIM registration. Ransomnews validated the sample as genuine ticket-buyer data, but identical October 1, 2025 processing timestamps suggest a single post-event batch export rather than a direct Ticketmaster breach.
