A member of an underground hacking forum claims to have exfiltrated telemetry data recorded by Teletrac Navman, a company headquartered in the United States but with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
The individual, who goes by the handle laserscript, said in a 4 July post that they had exfiltrated “fleet telematics data” from the company, which provides GPS tracking of vehicle fleets across the ANZ region.
“Continuous real-time GPS tracking data for 2,988 customer companies across Australia and New Zealand, captured from production broker over 48-hour window (27/28 June 2026),” laserscript said.
“This is the LIVE PRODUCTION TELEMETRY FEED every vehicle, every driver, every position update, continuously streamed for 48 hours.”
The dataset allegedly includes more than 670,000 position records from 2,988 organisations, featuring more than 8,000 drivers, emails and mobile phone details for those drivers, more than 1,200 driver’s licenses, and vehicle registration details.
The organisations involved include government agencies in Australia and New Zealand, as well as major commercial companies. The hacker claims to have fleet telemetry data belonging to KiwiRail, Gold Coast City Council, Aldi Stores Australia, and BHP Newman Operations, among others.
The data is currently being offered for sale, with potential buyers directed to contact the hacker via several messaging platforms. In addition, the threat actor shared a 1,500-line set of sample data, which has already been downloaded by so many people that the service hosting the sample has said the host account has exceeded its 1,000-gigabyte monthly download limit.
Cyber Daily has reached out to Teletrac Navman, but has yet to receive a response from the company.
