Truist Bank Data Breach: One of the largest banks in America – Truist Bank – reveals that it suffered a data breach back in October 2023 after employee information appeared for sale online. A hacking group known as Sp1d3r has claimed responsibility and is reportedly selling the dataset for around $1 million. Truist – which looks after more than $500 billion in assets and has 65,000 staff members on its payroll – said they notified "a small number of clients" at the time of the breach.
