Cyber Threat Actor Claims Sterling Bank Data Breach Exposing Millions of Records

A hacker known as ByteToBreach says it has breached Sterling Bank Plc’s internal network and published over 9 million records on a dark web forum. The stolen data reportedly covers 900,000 customer accounts, more than 3,000 employee files, and about 3 TB of cloud storage. Leaked information includes passports, photographs, bank statements, logs, and KYC documents. The actor also claims a separate dataset tied to Cardinal Stone, and says the breach was used to target Remita and CRC Credit Bureau. If confirmed, this fall-out could fuel identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to sensitive records.
