Troves of data on effectively every Paraguayan citizen were stolen by hackers who infected a government employee’s device with infostealer malware. The personal information of 7.4 million Paraguayans was offered for sale on the dark web following alleged breaches at several government agencies. The data was initially discovered by researchers at the cybersecurity firm Resecurity, who said the hackers — known as Brigada Cyber PMC — were selling the information for $7.4 million. Paraguay refused to pay the ransom and the data was published on June 13.
