A hacker group calling itself GhostR claimed to have stolen 5.3 million records from the World-Check database in March, and the threat was made public online. The database is used by businesses to check whether potential customers are on sanctions and financial crime-related blacklists. World-Check is a screening database for know-your-customer (KYC) compliance programs that allows companies to determine whether potential customers are high-risk or potentially criminal, such as have ties to money laundering or are subject to government sanctions. The hackers stole the data from an unnamed Singaporean company that had access to the World-Check database.
