A group named GhostR claims to have procured a sensitive database from World-Check, a key resource for risk assessment.

The database contains personal details of 5.3 million individuals including government officials and suspected terrorists.

Compromised data features highly sensitive information such as passport and Social Security numbers, as well as financial account details.

The exposure of this information could jeopardize the privacy and security of the individuals listed in the database.

World-Check's database has previously faced criticism for inaccuracies and has a history of security breaches.
