Future Crew: leaked data "Burger King" may lead to other cyber attacks

Burger King customers are very likely to become victims of scammers. Employers of those people whose data has been compromised may also be at risk. Gazeta.Ru was told about this by the press service of MTS Future Crew.

Leaked data, including full name, mobile phone number, email address, date of birth and place of residence, can be used by fraudsters to commit crimes. Such information may appear in punching services and leak aggregators, which increases the risk of crimes, according to Future Crew.

“With such a set of information, attackers will be able to address a potential victim by name and mention other information about her in a telephone conversation. This approach increases the effectiveness of fraud. Moreover, not only the person whose data was leaked, but also his relatives will be at risk,” Future Crew reported.

In addition, attackers can use the information obtained to attack victims’ employers. Personal data of employees can be used to guess passwords to people’s work accounts and further attacks on company infrastructure.

In this regard, it is recommended to take measures to protect personal data. In particular, change logins and passwords in important online services and work accounts. You should also be vigilant when receiving suspicious calls or messages.
