The National Credit Bureau has denied that its database was leaked.

The press service of the National Bureau of Credit Histories (NBKI) denied the leak of its database. The day before, the leak was reported by the Telegram channel “Information Leaks”. NBKI believes that this is how the channel’s authors wanted to “catch a certain hype.”

“The Bureau conducted an internal investigation, including an analysis of published information. Its results confirmed that there is no reason to consider NBKI JSC the source of the “leak.” It is obvious to everyone that the authors of the “leak” intentionally use a well-known brand as a source of data, the desire to catch a certain “hype” on this,” the press service reported (quote from TASS).

March 14 Telegram channel “Information leaks” reportedthat data from the NBKI database has become freely available. It was reported that the size of the database exceeded 200 million rows, including passport series and number, date of birth, telephone number. Today I was in the channel published a new post in which it was noted that the hacker who published the database reported the ownership of the leaked data to NBKI, and not the authors of the channel. The authors of the channel suggested that most likely the data was obtained from a microfinance organization (MFO).
