In January 2024, Zeeroq.com experienced a data breach that exposed a substantial volume of user data to unauthorized access. The breach, which was publicly disclosed on February 10, 2024, compromised key personal information, including users’ full names, email addresses, and payment details. While the company did not initially comment on the scale of the breach, the nature of the information exposed raised serious concerns over both personal privacy and the potential for financial exploitation.
The breach was reportedly orchestrated by a hacker operating under the alias “Chucky,” who later published the stolen data on a dark web platform known for trafficking in compromised credentials and financial information.
Security researchers monitoring underground forums quickly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked data, prompting widespread media attention and industry concern.
The delay between the breach itself and its disclosure raised questions about Zeeroq.com's internal response and preparedness. Many critics pointed to a lack of transparency and timely communication with users, which may have hindered early mitigation efforts such as changing passwords or cancelling affected payment cards. In response to the growing backlash, Zeeroq.com issued a statement acknowledging the breach and promised to enhance its security measures. The company also claimed to be working closely with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and track down those responsible.
