20 Jun Security Breach – 20 Jun 2025
If you think you understand phishing scams, think again. Phishing attacks are becoming more sophisticated and difficult to detect than ever before. “How?” you may ask. The answer is simple: cybercriminals never stop innovating. They constantly evolve their attack techniques, leveraging advanced technologies, such as Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) and subscription-based Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platforms, to breach even the strongest defense systems or trick your most vigilant employees. As the adoption of cloud-based services continues to grow, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace have become prime targets for cybercriminals.
Recent Breaches
Australia – 3P Corporation – Business Services
Exploit: Ransomware
Risk to Business: Moderate: The Space Bears ransomware gang claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Victoria-based financial services provider 3P Corporation, listing the firm on its darknet site in early April and later leaking over 213GB of sensitive data. The trove was published after a missed ransom deadline. It reportedly includes tax documents, bank details, employee pay slips and personal data of over 4,500 clients. The leaked files also appear to contain authority to deduct funds forms, tax file numbers and internal documents. 3P would say only that an “attempted attack” occurred on April 7.
India – Zoomcar – Transportation
Exploit: Hacking
Risk to Business: Severe: Indian car-sharing company Zoomcar has disclosed a data breach impacting the personal information of approximately 8.4 million users. The company first became aware of the incident on June 9, when hackers contacted Zoomcar employees claiming to have accessed its systems and stolen user data. The compromised information includes names, phone numbers, car registration numbers, addresses and email addresses. Zoomcar, which operates in 99 cities across India and serves over 10 million users, is investigating the breach but stated there is currently no evidence that financial details or passwords were compromised. This marks the second major breach for Zoomcar, following a significant incident in July 2018.
