meanwhile:
well-known threat actor is selling what they claim to be a legitimate trove of highly sensitive internal data stolen from Europol
“IntelBroker” took to hacking site BreachForums on Friday to advertise
“In May 2024 Europol suffered a data breach and lead [sic] to the exposure of FOUO [for official use only] and classified data,”
Not the first time that Europol has suffered a data security scare
At the end of March it was reported that they lost highly sensitive HR files on some of its most senior officials
@ecksmc 🤔 I have to believe access was logged and cameras were on.
Right?...
"IntelBroker is a moderator on Breachforum, his reputation in these circles is high; given the fact that he also posted samples, I do believe this offer is legit"

the threat actor is well-known in cybercrime circles, having last month advertised for sale sensitive documents stolen from the Five Eyes intelligence community via US supply chain contractor Acuity.
