Description

StarNet, a prominent Moldavian ISP, faced a significant security lapse in February 2015. Their internal database was posted on the web, leading to the exposure of details pertaining to nearly 139k customers. The leaked data not only included basic details such as email addresses and usernames but also extended to more sensitive information like full names, phone numbers, and even passport numbers in some instances. Alarmingly, passwords were stored in plaintext, heightening the risk for affected individuals.Exposed data: Full names, Email addresses, Usernames, Phone numbers, IP Addresses, Genders, Passwords.
