#ALERT: 🔴 Cargills Bank of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 has reportedly suffered what may be the largest data breach in the country's history. A massive data dump has been posted on the dark web, with a hacker group claiming responsibility. ⭕️ The dump reportedly contains highly sensitive customer information, including NIC numbers, passport details, specimen signatures of staff, and more. If you're a Cargills Bank customer, as a precaution, you should assume all data you've shared with them has been compromised. ⭕️ Best practice in these scenarios is full transparency—informing customers of all available details and providing continuous updates as new information emerges. Unfortunately, the bank has not done a good job handling this situation so far, and customers have still not been properly informed about the incident. There is almost no mainstream media coverage. ⭕️ If you're potentially affected, take immediate steps to protect yourself: monitor your accounts closely, change passwords across all services (especially if you reuse passwords), and monitor your credit. The following is a thread by @dinidu breaking down the breach and its contents. He has done an exceptional job.
