TPG Telecom has confirmed that data freely available to download on the dark web belongs to one of its customers, following a cyber security breach of TPGâs servers in April.
The 5 gigabyte download, available at no charge on at least one dark web site, comes from one of the customers of TPGâs TrustedCloud service, a cloud-hosting service which the company was already in the process of decommissioning when it was hacked on April 25, a TPG spokesperson told
The Australian Financial Review.
Ominously, the file is called âtpg_part_1.7zâ (7z is a file compression format, similar to âzipâ and ârarâ), suggesting a second instalment may be on the way.
