Researchers Reveal Suspect Behind Collection #1 Mega Breach | Dark Web News: A U.S.-based cybersecurity firm, Recorded Future, alleges to have identified a hacker allegedly responsible for exposing stolen data in a recent leak dubbed Collection #1. Experts from Recorded Future’s threat intel team have claimed that the hacker goes by the pseudonym “C0rpz.” According to the company, multiple individuals came out claiming to serve as the source of the breached data. However, Recorded Future has stated that after their assessment, C0rpz is the principal source of Collection #1. Alleged Identity of the Hacker The experts also believe that the hacker collected the data for over three years, which included data from companies that were hacked in the past. C0rpz later sold the information to other hackers who sold it as well as put it out there for free. One of the hackers who bought from C0rpz included an individual known as “Sanix.” Security reporter Brian Krebs had earlier identified Sanix the source of the data dump.
