Recently, the SafetyDetectives Cybersecurity Team stumbled upon a forum post where a threat actor has offered for sale a database containing 61 million records allegedly belonging to Verizon USA.
According to the threat actor’s claims, the dataset comprises 3.1 GB of Verizon USA customers information and it’s as recent as 2025. Upon reviewing a sample of the data, we observed full names, gender, dates of birth, tax IDs, full addresses, two phone numbers per customer, and more.
This information is highly sensitive and could be exploited by malicious actors to carry out various types of attacks on the affected individuals.

Posted in Commentary with tags Rogers on June 27, 2025 by itnerdJuly 1st marks the 40th anniversary of Canada’s first wireless call. It happened at Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto. Art Eggleton, Toronto’s mayor at the time, called Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau with a 10-pound mobile phone. Company founder Ted Rogers made the first call happen by investing in wireless at a time when no one else believed in it.
In July 1985, mobile networks handled 100 calls per day. Today, Canadians make 100 million calls and use 6.5 billion megabytes of data on Rogers wireless network every day.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Canada’s first wireless call, Rogers produced a video celebrating this milestone.
2025 marks Rogers 65th anniversary in Canada. Ted Rogers founded the company in 1960 with the purchase of the radio station CHFI in Toronto.
