Black Basta, the extortionists who claimed they were the ones who lately broke into Capita, have reportedly put up for sale sensitive details, including bank account information, addresses, and passport photos, stolen from the IT outsourcing giant.
A spokesperson for the London-based corporation, which has UK government contracts totaling £6.5 billion ($8 billion), said it hasn't yet confirmed if that data leak is legit.
"We continue to work closely with specialist advisers and forensic experts in investigating the incident," a Capita spokesperson told The Register.
"We are in constant contact with all relevant regulators and authorities. Our investigations have not yet been able to confirm any evidence of customer, supplier, or colleague data having been compromised."
