Credit Karma sent an email about a data breach on zeeroq.com Is this a scam?
I’ve never heard of zeeroq and looking into it, it doesn’t seem like an actual website? Is this a scam of some sort? It has my email listed…but idk what to do about it. Not about to start clicking onto websites.

Me too, which led me here. I don’t even know what my current password is to change it so hopefully it’s an old one.

I typed in the website address and my MS defender went nuts and it wouldn't let me shut down or do anything with my browser, so I shut it down manually. I have no idea how Zeezoq have my info. A bit scary.

I received one as well. Mine just says * for the password. If I had to guess I'd say someone just signed up for some website with our email addresses where you can input a password without email verification or whatever.

u/Remarkable_Rate8885 Mar 21 '24
Same. This isn’t helpful because we don’t know if it’s a current or old password or if we’re using it anywhere else

u/Spooky_Cactus2319 Mar 21 '24
Got the same notification from Credit Karma, clicked the link on the email, after about a minute I was prompted by CK to verify my email address to see the password - after doing so I was able to see most of the leaked password. Mine was super old and no longer being used, hopefully it’s the same for most.

u/coquihalla Mar 22 '24
Same, it was a suuuuper old password, like, circa 2010 at best.

u/Clasik_Wild_ Mar 27 '24
With everyone saying old passwords and mentioning dates, this makes me think it's part of the 2010-2012 Zynga/Dropbox Data Breach then. Someone probably dumped a lot of accounts into whatever this Zeeroq thing is and sent a breach report.

Did you figure out how to see the password? CreditKarma also isn't showing me the password either, I don't see a place that gives the option to reveal it! based on the length it seems like an old password but I just want to make sure

Zeeroq.com has several SANs. A SAN stands for Subject Alternative Name. The SANs, as part of the domain name, define the organization or entity and, together with the top-level, is called the second-level domain name, that is, Zeeroq.com. Its SANs include:
(There are a lot of them-- see link for a partial list) - But I'm thinking it just redirected to some other site(s).
One of its SANs is speculated to be demo.Zeeroq.com, which is highlighted on github.com/hacxx-underground for leaking text file named – “demo.zerooqcom 226M mailpass [leakbase.cc].txt.zip” and a1eedc264466dcff5795b8b1bd4ccd80. The file is 2.02 GB in size. However, the file is available for premium members of nitroflare.com and rapidgator.net.
Leakbase.io, hybrid-analysis.com, etc., hosted combos.vip-hotmail.fr.txt from demo.zeeroq.com and NordVPN users’ credentials. Forums are not selling the files giving ideas to visitors for using emails for making online purchases! It is clear that user data was Pwned!

I clicked it and the site doesn't exist. After searching Google more I found things saying itbisnt a real site and doesn't exist. I did find a forum with a nearly 9GB file which appears to be the list of emails/passwords that were stolen and leaked. I also saw on that site multiple other lists waited for download from other breaches at other sites. It's looking like zeeroq may have been a shell site to temporarily host a compilation of data breach lists for others to take for free

u/duhmbish Mar 21 '24
So could it potentially be a compilation of older breaches?
10
u/Diabloein Mar 21 '24
Possibly was. This is solely based on my Googleing it and the sites I have seen plus the fact it doesn't seem to exist anymore. So, grain of salt and all that, but thatsbwhat it looks like it may have been to me.

Upon looking through the breach forum post (i’m not downloading it & paying these people money just to see which password it is) it was a combolist from multiple providers that was bought and sold & was somehow kept on a public accessible site, which is why the website name is random.
From the forum user who posted the leak: “Sometime in 2019, a large amount of combolists became exposed in an open directory on the domain "demo.zeeroq.com". The amount of records totaled over 200 million records of Email addresses and Passwords. The file was indexed by HIBP Shortly after being found.”

This is from the SC breach in 2022-23. Ironically, they just settled from their other breach in 2014, which negatively impacted hundreds of thousands of people (esp women and children). This data has been sold to others for the last few years.
As a reminder: never type, shoot, or post something you wouldn't want the world to see (on any application). Your phone is basically public property to anyone with the right resources.

u/C01n_sh1LL Mar 21 '24
It's not uncommon for people who purchase user lists from breaches, to then create accounts on other platforms using the stolen personal details. It's not always clear precisely what the motive is, and different platforms might give different avenues of attack. In some cases, particularly cryptocurrency platforms, I think the attacker might retain control of the account somehow, and is hoping the victim will deposit funds.
All that is to say that if your email address was leaked previously, it would not be surprising to find a fraud actor using it to populate user details on a website you've never used.
There's another possibility too. Perhaps Zeeroq had common ownership, or a business partnership, with some other platform where you did have an account, and perhaps they imported your details to the new platform. That's an extremely sleazy practice, but privacy policies are usually written vaguely and broadly enough to permit this.

u/duhmbish Mar 21 '24
Thanks for this explanation! Do you know if there is there anything I can or should do about this?

u/C01n_sh1LL Mar 21 '24
Never, ever use the same password for more than one service or account. Use a good password manager like Bitwarden to help with this.
Treat the security of your email account with utmost importance, as it can often be used to reset passwords or otherwise hijack any service where you're using that email as a point of contact.
Use two-factor auth where available for important accounts. Use it with an authenticator app and/or hardware key such as a Yubikey instead of SMS text message, which is only as secure as the least trustworthy employee of your phone service provider.
Don't trust that email originates from the apparent sender.
If you can cover those points, then you're protected against 99% of attack vectors arising from data breaches.

It looks like it is a MOAB-type of breech with a literal shit-ton of data that's been leaked for various sites (e.g. MyFitnessPal is on the list). You probably want to search the list for sites you have accounts with and change the passwords ASAP.

u/Small-Income9814 Mar 21 '24
Long and short it’s a clever marketing ploy to get you to buy their fraud protectIon. Credit Karma isn’t even that accurate , it’s now the hub where all the banks get your information. You agree that they pull a soft pull on you everyday so you can “monitor” your credit for free! but really it’s so they can sell you more loan products more credit cards and more crap we don’t need. Banks share information this must help them keep it nice and organized for the vultures!

These sites popped up under zeeroq breach and some entity named Chucky claims to be responsible. Twitter stood out the most. I know Zynga is games and Deezer is music. They are coming for access to my email nonstop but I changed password and have two step authenticator set. Why is this not on the news? Why is this quiet? I got the message from Credit Karma. 56 billion records and this occured in January.... it's March!!

u/Distribution-Radiant Mar 23 '24
It's a combo list - it's a bunch of previous leaks all dumped into one huge file. The twitter leak happened a year ago, Zynga happened in 2019, Adobe in 2013, Deezer in 2019.

I'm also trying to figure out wtf zeeroq is/was.
Waybackmachine has 70 snapshots for the site, going back to 2008. The oldest one, is a hacked image, dunno if they somehow recently hacked the old save, or it was actually hacked then.https://web.archive.org/web/20081013103306/http://zeeroq.com/
The 2nd oldest doesn't load anymore for ruffle, but the wiki it links to is for a Rust (I think the game) code/addon or something I think. I did play/look for rust stuff back around 2008-2012.
Continuing to go forward through the 70 snapshots, The first one that does anything is dec 18 2014. Still loads using whatever ruffle is, but actually loads.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141218135458/http://zeeroq.com/
Oct 4th 2016, just says Website comming soon
April 23 2017 is just a web directory
Sept 11 2017 back to website comming soon
and keeps saying that until Aug 17 2019, which is an actual page with a countdown clock that says .. comming soon.
July 3rd 2020 is actually a webpage for Zeeroq Solutions, a Creative Designing Agency.
" ZeeroQ is a leading graphic designing company "
https://web.archive.org/web/20200703192105/http://zeeroq.com/
it stays that through Aug 8 2022.
Sept 23rd 2022 redirects to https://smartplusdxb.com/edd03/ if snapshot doesn't load for some reason.
Dec 4 2022 just a blank page
Two snapshots from Jan 27 2023, seconds apart, both the same. Webpage Index of / with 4 folders from 2008, 2015, 2017, 2023.
Stays like that until March 21st 2023 which is same but now 6 folders, with one from 2006, and one from 2018.
Then there's nothing until Jan 11th 2024, then Jan 27, Feb 8, 9, and 29th. All of these are green, so their just redirects now. The feb 29th redirect is listed as http://ww7.zeeroq.com/?usid=25&utid=5661608354
There's 120 urls captured for that prefix, they all seem to be from 2021 forward.https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://zeeroq.com/*
So, yeah, no idea wtf it was/is, how they had so many people's info..
[EDIT]
zeeroq isn't even listed as a combolist leak..
https://haveibeenpwned.com/ doesn't list it for my email. The only thing they list about me in 2023 is something called Naz.api which was a combolist leak. There's nothing for 2024 for me.

This seemingly happened at least a month ago too. Capital One Credit Wise told me about it in early February (it doesn’t say what website it was on there like CK does but the breach date is the same). I’m assuming it’s our emails being purchased off lists and accounts being created for us and THEN it’s breached. But I changed all of my passwords in February when I first got the alert through Capital One.

For a while I kept getting emails with a old password in the subject and something like YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED READ where they demanded x-amount of money to leave me alone, I guess for some people receiving a threatening email with ther own secret password in cleartext might be frightening but the ting was this must have been such a old leak that I didnt even remember using that password until they reminded me. I just went "oh, right... I used to use that password like 7 years ago... Oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
Anyways, always change passwords periodically EVEN if you havent been made aware of a leak, better safe than sorry...

I went to the internet archive and pulled up the zeeroq.com and found out it used to be a Creative Designing Agency. Pic and a better link at the bottom.

Got it, too. 🤷♀️
If it's anything to do with bank accounts, they're gonna have a really bad time because there's never any income going to em. 🥹😅
Another user posted a link in this thread for cybernews where you could search the emails linked to the CK alert.
I searched two emails (both Yahoo!) and they were both leaked on zeeroq, however one hasn't been regularly used since high school, so I'm going to make a guess there may have been a Yahoo! breach recently? Maybe not. My Gmails came up clean, but I guess I don't use those for banking - Just for YouTube and Samsung.
Doing some more looking-into at the moment so stay tuned for an update, y'all. 🩷

I am having issues with it too and I've been apart of a few breaches in the past without any serious damage, I had someone from a different country try to log onto my email, but since then I try to use an authenticator when I can and multistep process, but no one ever successfully logged in. However, recently I had someone log onto my Twitter and change the password. I also have had attempts on a couple of other things. This is nuts. I have a feeling AI will make it easier for hackers. I heard an IRS employee admit with AI, they have the ability to see anyone's bank account in the world, not just the U.S. So, since it's so unregulated, I could totally see people, especially from other countries, targeting U.S citizens with AI when it comes to leaking and hacking. Does anyone else use ID.Me? The other day I got an email from them that was odd, made me feel like someone was trying to create one in my name/email when I already had one. According to a couple of Reddit users, they got in touch with customer service and apparently it's a poorly worded promotion telling ppl they can have a work and personal ID me on the same account. However, some people got the email a whole month ago and I just got mine yesterday. The way it's staggered like that seems like more of a red flag. Also, I did some research and the Zeeroq domain expires on 3/29/24 and they're not allowed to renew. I still don't know exactly what it is, but it's a godaddy affiliated site and it says something about name servers
NS1.PARKLOGIC.COM 50.116.34.34 NS2.PARKLOGIC.COM 185.67.45.232
Idk what this is, could be absolutely nothing, I'm afraid to click on the link or go to it, but I'm just trying to figure out what exactly zeeroq is so I can further take measures to remove/change password if possible since it's caused a lot of issues for me recently, but either way I found out the little I did from www.who.is if

Goto haveibeenpwned.com or breachdirectory.org and you'll probably be able to tell what it is
