A group of hackers called Team Swastika published the details of 10,000 Facebook accounts on Pastebin, the website that recently became the place where cybercriminals brag with their accomplishments.

According to the Counter Measures, Team Swastika claims to be the most powerful hacking team in Nepal, their next target being the websites belonging to government agencies of the country. They have already caused concern by publishing database tables and user credentials stolen from the websites of the Indian Embassy in Nepal and the Government of Bhutan, apparently by SQL injection attack.

Their slogan is “Fight for justice. Justice to freedom. Never give up. Never back down”. Their logo is a swastika but it is the result of a combination of 4 ‘L’s, “(Good) Luck”, “Love”, “Light” and “Life”. We will wait to see how powerful this new group is.

Please be sure to properly protect your digital assets by setting strong passwords and by avoiding any suspicious emails and sites that ask for sensitive information. Also, if you fall victim to such a malevolent scheme, change the passwords that guard the exposed accounts.
