Details

On July 25, 2022, an elite level threat actor "Kirti" from BreachForums posted a data breach package targeting InvestorPlace, a financial research firm that publishes articles, stock picks, and stock market news for investors operating from Maryland, United States. The threat actor noted that the data package is from the year 2020 and includes 200,000 rows of user information. InvestorPlace was also targeted in the deep web forum Raidforums on May 10, 2020. From the package published on BreachForums, ZeroFox extracted 100,025 email addresses, usernames, and hashed passwords.

Recommendations

• If not already enabled, turn on the compromised credentials rule for all relevant entities and ensure relevant emails are entered for those entities, or reach out to [email protected] for assistance
• If one of your entities receives an alert, ZeroFox recommends immediate password changes for the affected account
• Enable 2-factor authentication for all of your organizational accounts to help mitigate phishing and credential stuffing attacks
