The CORE Dump: 17,160 Customer Records Hit the Dark Web

HEROIC found the CORE Business Technologies database breach dated March 6, 2024, exposing 17,160 records including email addresses, phone numbers, and first and last names from corebt.com, a US-based business technology company.

Why the CORE Breach Is Dangerous

Even without passwords, a complete set of contact details including names, email addresses, and phone numbers gives attackers everything needed for highly targeted phishing campaigns, impersonation fraud, and social engineering attacks against individuals and their employers.

What Was Exposed in the CORE Leak

• Email Address
• Phone Number
• First Name
• Last Name

Why This CORE Data Puts You at Risk

Your name, email address, and phone number together enable convincing impersonation attacks. Fraudsters can use this data to send targeted phishing emails, make fake support calls, or combine your contact details with other leaked data to build comprehensive profiles for identity theft and financial fraud.

How Database Breaches Work

Database breaches occur when attackers exploit vulnerabilities in a website or application to gain unauthorized access to the underlying database. Once inside, they extract stored records in bulk, including personal identifiers and contact information. The stolen records are then sold or posted publicly on criminal forums.
