A user on a dark web forum has allegedly put a database belonging to the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan up for sale. The Ministry of Defense is the primary government agency responsible for the national security and defense of Taiwan, overseeing all branches of its armed forces. The significance of this entity makes any potential data breach a matter of serious national concern.
The threat actor is asking for $20,000 in cryptocurrency for the data. According to the forum post, the compromised information is highly sensitive and pertains to various aspects of Taiwan’s military operations. The seller claims the database includes a wide range of military information. The post included samples of the allegedly stolen data.
The leaked data allegedly includes:
- Military personnel details including service codes, names, ranks, and contact information.
- Details on military missions, including code names, responsible units, and commander information.
- Information on military vehicles, such as serial numbers, types, and deployment dates.
- Data related to military equipment, including radar systems and their operational status.
- Base access logs with personnel details, entry/exit times, and passcodes.
