World-Check, a “know your customer” (KYC) database with millions of records on “high risk” individuals and organizations, may soon have its database leaked by hackers who claim to have stolen 5.3 million World-Check records from a third party. TechCrunch reported Thursday that a group called GhostR told the publication they hacked a Singapore-based company with access to the database in March and are threatening to publish the data online.
