Paraguyan Government Website Hosts Phishing Data

Phishing gangs are growing increasingly bold, evinced by researchers finding phishing data on website owned by the Paraguyan government. Sunbelt researchers discovered that a website belonging to the Paraguyan government is hosting data on banks and insurance companies in the United Kingdom gathered through phishing attacks.

The researchers have notified the website owners regarding the data cache. Typically, researchers will sit on the data and try to learn more information about the cyber criminals. Hosting stolen data on another server is considerably safer for cyber criminals and operates similar to a “slick” used by spies. The data remains accessible but if anyone stumbles upon the data, the police are unable to arrest the criminals.
