GoldCorp hacked, data dumped

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Dissent

Yesterday I was contacted by hackers who claimed that GoldCorp, a gold-mining firm with headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia (TSX:G NYSE: GG), had been “badly hacked” and its data dumped.

I’ve written up the details we’ve found so far, and you can read all about it on The Daily Dot, where I’ll be contributing occasionally.

And if you’re the hacker(s) who got in touch with me yesterday, please get back in touch and let me know how to reach you, as I have some questions for you. 🙂

Update: GoldCorp sent Daily Dot an email confirming the breach. The headline of this post has been edited to reflect that.

I’m going to like collaborating with Daily Dot – they get responses when I get ignored. 🙂
