Jerico Pictures, the data brokerage company operating as National Public Data, recently filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of Florida. The organization was compromised by a cybercriminal group known as "USDoD," which listed a massive trove of personal information for sale on the dark web at the discounted price of $3.5 million.

I'm surprised and concerned that a company with so little infrastructure was even allowed to hold onto so much public data in the first place, seems like they'd be fairly easy to compromise - which I guess is true curtosy of USDoD.

I have a feeling there's plenty more services out there that just happen to be running on the old macbook in someone's closet waiting to be pwned
