The threat actor claims to have stolen sensitive information from Interbank customers, including full names, account IDs, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, credit card numbers, CVV codes, expiry dates, bank transaction details, and plaintext credentials.

The threat actor claimed, “More than 3 million customers’ info and in addition to the data I have uploaded here, I also have clear usernames and password information for customers, which allows access to bank accounts from Peru IP block (Restricted to biometric photo validation for some of them),” .

“For now, I am uploading a part containing information on over 3 million customers. Total data more than 3.7 TB. I obtained lot of internal API credentials, LDAP, Azure credentials and so on.”

They claimed in a thread, where some stolen data was shared, that negotiations with Interbank’s management started two weeks ago. However, the extortion attempt failed because the bank chose not to pay.

Bleeping computer reported Interbank spokesperson was not immediately available to reached out for more details regarding the breach.
