Hacker sells data stolen from Verizon's enterprise customers
http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/24/verizon-enterprise-solutions-hack/
Verizon suffered a data breach, according to KrebsOnSecurity,
but you can breathe easy if you're just one of the carrier's
subscribers. What the hacker infiltrated was Verizon Enterprise
Solutions, a division that provides services to clients from the
business and government sectors. Coincidentally, it's also the
task force of sorts Fortune 500 companies call in when their
systems get infiltrated. Brian Krebs says a well-known member of
a cybercrime forum recently posted a thread selling info on 1.5
million enterprise customers for $100,000. He also offered to
share the vulnerabilities he found on Verizon's website for a
price.
