28 November 2025
Alternative broadband provider Brsk, which last year merged with Netomnia’s expanding multi-gigabit Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, has reportedly suffered a significant data breach. Hackers are said to have gained access to and exposed personal data belonging to approximately 230,105 customers, with the stolen database now reportedly up for sale on a hacking forum.

The group has a history of uncovering leaks involving UK companies and telecoms providers. According to their report, a threat actor is advertising the stolen customer database, offering a sample and setting a price for negotiation through direct messages.
