A threat actor has allegedly breached KFC Venezuela, offering a database containing the personal and order information of over one million customers for sale on a dark web forum.
Scale of Compromised Data
The database, which is being sold as a single 405 MB CSV file containing exactly 1,067,291 rows, suggests a major compromise of the fast-food company's Venezuelan operations. The leak exposes a vast amount of sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and transactional data.
According to the seller's post, the compromised data includes:
- Personal Details: Customers' full names, phone numbers, email addresses, and complete delivery addresses.
- Transactional Data: Payment methods, details of ordered items, corresponding quantities and prices, and exchange rates.
- Operational Data: Order creation timestamps and internal store details.
This combination of personal and financial history creates a high-risk scenario for the victims, making them targets for sophisticated phishing campaigns, financial fraud, and identity theft.
The threat actor is actively inviting buyers on a hacking forum, sharing a sample of the records as proof of authenticity. This incident, which KFC Venezuela has not yet publicly commented on, underscores the urgent need for customers to be cautious of unsolicited communications and monitor their financial accounts for suspicious activity.
