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 Hacker News, 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.

Pastebin quickly removed the leaked documents, but it's clear that this was the result of a mass phishing operation.

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.
