Location tracking company Unacast has confirmed to the Norwegian government that it was the victim of a hack, according to a notice published by Norwegian public broadcaster NRK on Friday.
Last week claims began circulating online that Unacast's data broker subsidiary Gravy Analytics had been the victim of a digital heist. Experts told Reuters that leaked data published to the internet by the hacker or hackers appeared to be genuine, but the company has so far not returned repeated messages seeking comment.
The law firm was also quoted as saying that a preliminary investigation showed that some of the stolen files "could contain personal data."
Calls to Norway's data protection authority rang unanswered after-hours on Friday. BakerHostetler didn't immediately return messages. Unacast has not returned repeated messages seeking comment.
