The data was located in a post on a well-known forum on the clear surface web. This forum features message boards specifically for database downloads, leaks, cracks, and more.
TechRadar Pro reported that a spokesperson for the company said:
“We’re aware of an issue in which a threat actor posted a data set claiming to that of Verizon customers on the dark web. We have examined the postings and have determined that it is old data, previously posted on the dark web, and is not affiliated with our Company or customers. Additionally, this threat actor recently made similar claims about other large U.S. wireless companies. At this point, there’s no need to notify customers and there’s no impact to Verizon or its customers.”
Verizon Communications Inc., based in New York City, is the second-largest telecom company globally by revenue and the largest wireless carrier in the U.S., serving 146 million subscribers as of March 31, 2025.
