   Description:   
   A hacker is reportedly selling almost 150GB of Royal Mail information.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   A hacking group going by the name GHNA has put information for sale on the   
   notorious BreachForums site, claiming belongs to the Royal Mail Group.    
      
   The British postal firm was reportedly breached through a German logistics   
   management supplier - if the information for sale is legitimate.    
      
   This data includes 293 folders and 16,549 files, and is said to include   
   personally identifiable information (PII) like names, physical addresses,   
   phone numbers, and package details, leaving anyone affected at risk of   
   identity theft and fraud.   
      
   Familiar exploits    
      
   We are aware of an incident which is alleged to have affected Spectos, a   
   supplier of Royal Mail," a Royal Mail spokesperson told us.    
      
   "We are working with the company to investigate the issue and establish what   
   impact there may be regarding their data. We can confirm there has been no   
   impact on Royal Mail operations and services continue to function as normal.    
      
   GHNA previously leaked over 270,000 customer service tickets tied to Samsung   
   Electronics Germany, in a breach that exposed transactional and sensitive   
   personal data.    
      
   A spokesperson for Spectos GmbH confirmed to TechRadar Pro it has been the   
   target of an ongoing cyberattack since March 29, 2025, when unauthorized   
   access to systems and personal customer data has occurred, and that the    
   attack is ongoing, but systems are being continuously monitored and secured.    
      
   The origin of the attack is currently being analyzed together with external   
   cyber security experts.Contrary to media reports to the contrary, there are    
   no indications of an internal attack or the use of leaked access data.    
      
   Analysis from HudsonRock suggests that AI is playing an increasingly    
   important role in breaches such as this one, with tools like ChatGPT able to   
   rapidly parse through files and extract valuable data such as PII.
