Thousands of virtualmacosx users records, including bank information, have recently leaked at a popular hacking forum, have claimed experts.
Cyber Security Researchers Safety Detectives public participation They found a new thread on a popular ClearWeb Hacking Forum (a forum hosted on the mainstream interet), in which the poster offered a database to everyone who would comment or would otherwise communicate with the thread, free.
It is said that the database belongs to the customers of Virtualmacosx.com, a cloud-based service that offers virtual Mac OS X-Servers and Desktops and contains 176,000 lines, spread over three separate .TXT files. In these files there were the users of people, full names, company names, e -mail addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, passwordsPassword reset keys, bank names, banking types, bank codes, bank accounts and various support sticks.

The threat also contained a 34-line sample of the database, said safety detectives, adding that their superficial analysis confirmed the authenticity of the data.
“Although the data seemed sincere and we saw indicatives in invoices that were sent to Virtualmacosx, we could not permanently confirm that the data belonged to the customers of Virtualmacosx and because of ethical considerations, we have abandoned the testing of the exposed reference,” the researchers said.
We would claim that it is unusual for cyber criminals to give away a brand new database with both bank details and passwords for free, so it may also be that the database is fake or recycled from an earlier infringement. A fast Google search assignment showed no previously reported infringements on virtualmacosx.com.
In any case, users should definitely reset their passwords, including on all other platforms where they may have used the same set of references.
Moreover, they must follow their bank accounts closely on suspicious transactions. Finally, they must be looking for well-made phishing e-mails that occur as virtualmacosx.com.
