Spectos GmbH

Spectos GmbH, a German logistics management supplier to the Royal Mail, suffered a data breach attributed to the GHNA hacking group. Compromised data includes personally identifiable information (PII) like names, addresses, phone numbers, and package details from 293 folders and 16,549 files, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud. Although the Royal Mail's operations remain unaffected, the information on sale at BreachForums raises significant privacy and security concerns. The breach has been ongoing since March 29, 2025, with investigations and security measures being implemented.
