Hackers claim they breached Aussie point-of-sale tech firm, try to sell ‘customer DB’

Exclusive Hackers are claiming to have hacked Australian point-of-sale technology (PoS) company H&L Australia, and have been claiming to potential buyers that they had lifted its customer database. They were already offering it for sale for AU$22,000 ($16,580, £12,723) more than two months ago.

If indeed they have hacked into H&L, credit card data and personal information would potentially be at risk: the firm’s clients include several major retailers.

The Register received information about an alleged breach at H&L Australia two weeks ago, plus the credentials required to access what was alleged to be an active backdoor on the company’s network and an open public link to a large SQL database dump.

We immediately reported this to CERT Australia, which offers assistance to compromised businesses. For the full article click here
