Debt.org Bankruptcy

In early 2017 a significant data breach occurred involving the financial services website Debt.org specifically targeting bankruptcy related lead information. The incident resulted in the unauthorized exposure of sensitive personal and financial details of users seeking debt relief or legal assistance. The data was discovered being traded on dark web forums and included contact details combined with specific financial status indicators. The vulnerability was likely linked to an insecure database configuration or a SQL injection attack on their lead generation forms.
