Latvian police arrested a 23-year-old man they say hacked at least two companies, stole personal data, and tried to extort the victims. Authorities say he exploited vulnerabilities in company websites to access databases, including in a September breach of TSC, an electronics repair company in the LMT group. TSC said stolen data may have included customer names, contact details, device passcodes, bank account numbers, addresses, and building access codes; no CVE or victim count was disclosed.
Why it matters: Customers of the affected companies may face identity theft, fraud, and follow-on scams, especially where device passcodes and banking details were exposed. Organizations with internet-facing websites should review web application security and logs, and affected users should watch for phishing and change any exposed credentials or device codes.
