Hacker-For-Hire Operation Targets Politicians, Journalists Worldwide ♂

　　Void Balaur's services include hacking into targets' emails and social media accounts. As of March 2021, the prices for these services started at $138 for Mail.ru accounts, going up to $550 for Gmail accounts, $413 for corporate accounts and all the way up to $2,064 for Telegram accounts. The threat group also sells the sensitive data of its targets, including passport details and SMS messages. For individual victims this type of data could be extremely specific, such as criminal records (with a price tag starting at $21), banking service data (like account balance and account statements) and phone call records with cell tower locations (offered for $826).

　　“The telecom data that Void Balaur is peddling includes phone call records with cell tower locations that could reveal who a person has been calling, the duration of the calls, and the approximate location where the calls were made,” according to researchers. “Knowledge of these details could serve several purposes, including committing serious crimes."

　　The threat group also appears to target many organizations that are likely to have access to highly sensitive data on people, including mobile companies and cellular equipment vendors, radio and satellite communication companies and ATM machine vendors. Researchers believe this may indicate a future expansion of the group’s current business offerings as it continues to collect more widespread information.

Email or social media hacked？ Here’s what to do ♂

　　Hackers target your email and social media accounts to steal your personal information. Like your username and password, bank or credit card account numbers, or Social Security number. If they get it, they use it to commit identity theft, spread malware, or scam other people. So, what are signs that someone hacked your account, and how can you recover a stolen account?

　　Here are some things that might tip you off to a problem:You get a notification that your email address or phone number changed. Or that your password was reset. But you didn’t make those changes.You get a message that someone tried to log in, or did log in, and it wasn’t you.You can’t log in to your account.

　　If you can’t log in to your account, follow the provider’s account recovery instructions. Here are links to some of them.FacebookGoogleInstagramLinkedInMicrosoftPinterestRedditSnapchatTikTokWhatsAppXYahooYouTube

　　If you get a notification about activity you don’t recognize, and you can log in, here’s what to do:

　　Change your account password. Create a unique and strong password that is hard to guess. Aim for 12 to 15 characters. Or use a passphrase — a series of words separated by spaces. Then sign out of that account on all devices. That way anyone who’s logged in to your account on another device will get kicked out.

　　Secure your account. If the account offers two-factor authentication (2FA), turn it on to add an extra layer of security. That way, a hacker with your password can’t log in to your account without a second authentication factor. Like a verification code you get by text or email, or from an authenticator app.

　　Update your account recovery information. Account recovery information helps you get back into your account if you're locked out, forgot your password, or if someone else is using it. Check your account recovery information and make sure the email address and phone number listed are correct.

　　Check for signs that someone had access to your account. Check if there are auto-forwarding rules in your email account that you didn’t set up. Hackers might create these rules to forward your emails to another address. Check your social media for messages the hacker posted or sent, or for new friends you don’t recognize.

　　If you believe someone stole your personal information, go to IdentityTheft.gov to report it and get a personalized recovery plan.
