The US federal arm tasked with environmental protection matters, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is allegedly experiencing a data breach affecting over 8.5 million users.
The breach, which has reportedly exposed personal and sensitive information belonging to EPA’s customers and contractors, was claimed by a hacker operating under the alias USDoD on Sunday.
“Hello Breachforums, this is your favorite TA and today I’m proud to say that I’m releasing epa.gov database of contact list. This is their entire contact of Critical Infra not only for the USA but for the entire globe” USDoD posted on the dark web.
