Aussizz offers visa and citizenship applications for Australia, as well as New Zealand, the US, the UK, and Canada, meaning the data it contains could be highly sensitive and used for further attacks and fraudulent activity.

The hackers listed Aussizz on its dark web leak site late last week, claiming to have stolen 278.91 gigabytes of data.
