Environmental data was hit at the end of August for a hacker attack where sensitive information such as social security numbers, addresses and telephone numbers were posted on Darknet. 80 percent of Sweden's municipalities use the IT supplier's services, and it has since been found that many companies and authorities have also been affected. SVT has been able to reveal that three of the affected companies have links to the Armed Forces and that over 15,000 people in these companies have had their personal data exposed. Expert: Not relevant to shut down private accounts In SVT's new service, private individuals can find out if it is included in the extensive leak against environmental data.SVT has collected over 850,000 email addresses that are included in the leak. If your email address is included in the leak, according to Måns Jonasson on the Internet Foundation, it is not relevant to change passwords, as it is not a password leak.Therefore, it does not help to shut down the email account, or other private accounts. However, he emphasizes the importance of being extra vigilant against fraudsters as there is an increased risk in the near future. - Now they get lists with telephone numbers and addresses they can be based on, and in many cases employer information. Expert's call: Don't click on any links A private person can therefore get a call from someone who pretends to be even a former or current employer, according to Jonasson.Then you will listen, Jonasson adds, unlike if an unknown person calls and asks for money. - If someone calls and says, "You are included in this data leak, to protect yourself, you need to click on this link, and take these actions". - We think that kind of fraud will increase.
