14 DAY TRIAL // Last month, we learned of Exposed.su, a website that listed the personal and financial details of several public figures. After authorities launched an investigation, the site went offline, but now it has been resurrected on a new domain.
Currently, the website – which has been moved to a Reunion Island domain – lists the details of more than 40 individuals.
The list of victims includes Tom Cruise, CIA Director John Brennan, Lady Gaga, Dennis Rodman, P. Diddy, Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro, George W. Bush, Scarlett Johansson, Oprah , George Clooney and Tyra Banks.
The leaked information comprises names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, previous addresses and, in many cases, credit reports.
Before the site went offline, we learned that the credit reports likely originated from annualcreditreport.com, a website maintained by three major US credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
It’s uncertain if the newly added credit reports come from the same site, but it’s likely that this is the case.
Another thing worth mentioning about the “Exposed” website is that it lists P. Diddy and Paris Hilton as being “swatted.” Someone made a prank and called police to the homes of both celebrities.
However, it's uncertain if the individuals behind the site are responsible for the pranks, if the prankster obtained the celebrities’ details from the website, or if the authors of “Exposed” simply wanted to highlight the incidents.
It remains to be seen if moving the website from a Soviet Union (.su) domain to a Reunion Island domain will help the cybercriminals that run it to keep it online for a longer period. However, in the meantime, they keep adding new names to the site almost each day.
So far, the site has been accessed over 790,000 times.
