A hacker forum found a database containing email addresses and physical addresses of the owners of Ledger hardware wallets, according to Bleeping Computer .

We recently discovered a 500GB database purportedly belonging to USG Insurance Services being leaked online for free on a popular Russian hacking forum. The cybercriminal leaking the data claims that it includes scans of sensitive documents containing such information as social security numbers and account balances.

The first part of the data was published on October 27, 2020, and the second part was made available November 4, 2020. It appears to be part of a failed post-breach negotiation, after the breached company opted to not pay the ransom.

The total leak is said to be 500GB in size, with a total of 5.25 million files

The leaked data appears to come from USG Insurance Services, Inc., which lists itself as a national wholesale broker specializing in providing “innovative solutions for hard to place commercial insurance.”

U.S. Fertility, one of the largest networks of fertility clinics in the United States, has confirmed it was hit by a ransomware attack and that data was taken.

The company People’s Energy has contacted all its 270,000 current customers, following a data breach.

Co-founder Karin Sode told BBC News an entire database had been stolen by hackers and included information on previous customers.

Data stolen included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, tariff and energy meter IDs, she said.

But with the exception of that of 15 small-business customers, no financial information had been accessed.
