Cyble’s team is still investigating this further and will be updating their article as they bring more facts to the surface,”
The blog post of Cyble said that the information was leaked for free and the amount of information was too much as if collected from a resume aggregator. They further added, “Cybercriminals are always on the lookout for such personal information to conduct various nefarious activities such as identity thefts, scams, and corporate espionage.”
