South America Ecuador Information leaked by almost all citizens due to hacker attack September 18th 7:21
The South American Ecuadorian government announced that a private company that had been entrusted with managing public information was attacked by hackers and that almost all of the personal information of the public was stolen.
On the 16th, the Ecuadorian government announced that a private company that had been entrusted with managing public information was attacked by American hackers, and personal information for 20 million people had been stolen.
The population of Ecuador is about 17 million, and the personal information of almost all citizens has been stolen, and information such as the date and cause of death of those who have already died has also been leaked.
The stolen information included the personal name and date of birth, as well as various personal information such as educational background and work history, as well as mobile phone numbers, bank account numbers, and taxpayer numbers.
The Ecuadorian government is enacting a new law on the protection of personal information within three days so that stolen information can be abused.
The Ecuadorian investigative authorities are pursuing the crime because there is a suspicion that former government officials who worked in the information department were also involved in this crime.
