Himera

In 2024 a fragment of the Himera search bot database containing 120000 records was leaked online. The exposed data includes user names, phone numbers, dates of birth and addresses. While a much larger database of 91 million lines was initially offered for sale by threat actors, subsequent analysis by cybersecurity experts revealed that the massive dataset was a fake compilation. Only the smaller fragment containing approximately 120k records is considered authentic. The incident highlights risks associated with using unofficial data search services and gray market telegram bots.
