Intel Broker claims a major data breach at Cisco, allegedly stealing source codes, confidential documents, and credentials from global firms like Verizon, AT&T, Microsoft, and more. Data is now for sale on Breach Forums.

Intel Broker, a hacker notorious for high-profile data breaches, is claiming to have breached the technology giant Cisco Systems, Inc. In a post on the cybercrime platform **Breach Forums**, the hacker stated that the breach enabled them to steal a massive amount of sensitive information from Cisco’s systems.

According to the hacker, the alleged data breach took place on October 10, 2024, while the Breach Forum post was published earlier today on October 14, 2024.

****What Was Allegedly Stolen?****

As seen by the Hackread.com research team, Intel Broker has listed a massive amount of data that was allegedly stolen in the breach, including:

*   **Source Code**: Projects from GitHub, GitLab, and SonarQube, critical to Cisco’s development efforts.
*   **Hard-Coded Credentials**: Sensitive information like login details embedded in source code.
*   **Certificates and Keys**: SSL certificates, and public and private keys crucial for secure communications.
*   **Confidential Documents**: Internal documents and information classified as “Cisco Confidential.”
*   **API Tokens and Storage Buckets**: AWS private buckets, Azure storage buckets, and API tokens that could be used to access critical systems.
*   **Other Sensitive Information**: Jira tickets, Docker builds, and Cisco premium products are also listed.

****Impact on Major Corporations****

Intel Broker also shared a list of companies whose production source codes were allegedly taken during the breach. The list includes several high-profile firms, particularly in the telecommunications and financial sectors, such as:

*   **Telecom Companies**: Verizon, AT&T (USA and Mexico), British Telecom, T-Mobile (USA and Poland), Vodafone (Albania and Australia), and Turkcell.
*   **Financial Institutions**: Bank of America, Barclays, and National Australian Bank.
*   **Tech and Health**: Microsoft, Liberty Global, and Dignity Health.

****Data for Sale****

Intel Broker is offering the stolen data for sale in exchange for Monero (XMR), a cryptocurrency known for its privacy features. The hacker indicated that they are open to using a middleman to facilitate the transaction, ensuring **anonymity** for both the buyer and seller. This method is a common practice among cybercriminals to avoid detection and tracking by authorities.

****Unverified but Serious Claims****

At the time of writing, Hackread.com, which first spotted the hacker’s claims, has reached out to Cisco for comment, but no official response has been given. The breach, if confirmed, could have major consequences for Cisco and the affected companies, raising concerns about the extent of the damage and the potential exploitation of the compromised data.

****Intel Broker and Previous Breaches****

Intel Broker is known for high-profile data breaches. **In June 2024**, the hacker claimed to have breached Apple Inc., stealing source code for internal tools. The same hacker boasted about **breaching AMD** (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.), and stealing employee and product information.

**In May 2024**, Intel Broker hacked Europol, a breach that the agency later confirmed. Some of the hacker’s previous data breaches are listed below:

*   **Tech in Asia**
*   **Space-Eyes**
*   **Home Depot**
*   **Facebook Marketplace**
*   **U.S. contractor Acuity Inc.**
*   **Staffing giant Robert Half**
*   **Los Angeles International Airport**
*   **Alleged breaches of HSBC and Barclays Bank**

Although the hacker’s origins and affiliates are unknown, according to the United States government, IntelBroker is alleged to be the perpetrator behind one of the **T-Mobile data breaches**.

Nevertheless, these claims regarding the Cisco data breach go on to show the cybersecurity risks faced even by large organizations. As more details emerge, the scale of this breach and its potential fallout will be closely watched.

1.  **Akira Ransomware Targets Businesses via Exploited CISCO VPNs**
2.  **Cisco Network Breach as Employee’s Google Account** **was** **Hacked**
3.  **Hackers Claim 10TB Breach at Russian Cybersecurity Firm Dr.Web**
4.  **Hackers leave US flag after targeting Cisco switches in Russia & Iran**
5.  **Ex-worker hacked Cisco AWS Infrastructure; erased virtual machines**

Intel Broker Claims Cisco Breach, Selling Stolen Data from Major Firms

By combining human and nonhuman identity management in one solution, Flock Safety is helping law enforcement solve an impressive number of criminal cases every day.

When Jerrid Powell went on a shooting spree in Beverly Hills last year, he had no idea what he was up against. Law enforcement used Flock Safety's evidence-based crime-solving technology to help locate him. Powell was quickly apprehended and is now behind bars.

Flock Safety is a success story. In less than six years, the native-cloud company has become one of the country's largest public safety technology vendors. It plays a part in solving 10% of crimes in the United States, equating to about 2,000 cases per day, according to a report from the company and validated by independent criminology researchers. It does this by analyzing a vehicle's "fingerprint" using object detection and machine learning, focusing on everything from license plates to bumper stickers.

With so many law enforcement agencies relying on its technology, Flock Safety puts security first. That means securing the identity of its user accounts, along with 1,000 employees and a fleet of cameras, video cameras, and audio detection devices.

From the beginning, Flock Safety has been using Okta for human identity management against its corporate systems, like Salesforce, Google, and Amazon Web Services. Using Okta's customer and workforce identity cloud technology, employees, customers, and contractors authenticate themselves by entering their credentials. It also uses Okta subsidiary's Auth0 to authenticate Internet of Things devices, like cameras, to its FlockOS and devices.

"Imagine a network of cameras, drones, and gunshot detection devices across the United States," explains Eric Tan, the company's CIO and chief security officer. "Each one of those devices has a unique ID and secret associated \[with\] the device that's calling home to the mothership to authenticate and pass on images or videos."

Flock Safety's approach is comprehensive. Alfredo Ramirez, a senior director and analyst of security and emerging technology at Gartner, says that while most companies do use some type of modern technology for employee authentication, they are often less successful at handling nonemployee identities or correlating all of them across connected corporate applications.

**Covering All Bases**

While Tan is quite satisfied with the protection Okta and Auth0 are providing, he noticed that as Flock Safety's customer base and reach grew, it needed to expand past authentication into the realm of authorization. Essentially, authentication is the first step in identity management, but higher levels of security require authorization, which moves beyond identity verification to determining users' levels of access and granting access based on those levels.

"When an identity or user account authenticates onto our platform, we know we're covered, but what we don't know is where that identity is going once it's on the platform," Tan explains. "That's what we wanted to address."

With that goal in mind, Tan found Permiso Security, a cloud security company that had recently branched into identity management. With its ability to track both human and nonhuman identities across authentication boundaries, Permiso's Universal Identity Graph seemed like it could bridge the gap between authentication and authorization for Flock Safety.

Tan looks at it this way: "Auth0 and Okta are important preventative solutions, but Permiso is more like a motion detector system in a house. I want to know who or what is coming into all of the different rooms, and if anything looks off, I want it to let me know."

This is the first year where vendors are going to market claiming to be able to discover and secure all nonhuman identity types, but very few claim to be able to handle securing both human and nonhuman identities within the same solution, Gartner's Ramirez says. Most, like Permiso, are using some sort of graph database technology, unlike incumbent identity vendors.

Over the next three to five years, Ramirez expects incumbent identity security vendors to build, buy, or partner for nonhuman identity solutions to complement their human identity solutions. In addition, he expects startups to continue to advance in this area.

**Looking Ahead**

For Flock Safety, the time to get this up and running is now. Through an API, Permiso's solution can see the identities in Auth0 and Okta. Flock Safety also exposes the API to some of its more critical systems, like Google Workspace or GitHub, so it can monitor for suspicious activity.

"If one of our cameras were to call home and eventually grant themselves access to our GitHub source code library, that would be really odd. Permiso would pick that up," Tan explains. "Similarly, if you had an employee who was a field technician, and that person's user account was granted additional permissions or elevated access within our Google Active Directory or Workspace environment, it would alert us and automatically quarantine them."

Tan is considering adding Astrix Security's nonhuman identity security platform for real-time discovery and mitigation of breaches by nonhuman identities. He's currently evaluating the tool.

"For example, if there is a test API account connected to our GitHub instance with elevated privileges that the team isn't tracking, I would have the team either shut it down, reduce the privileges, or make it authenticate through Auth0," Tan says.

While it might seem like Flock Safety is adding a surprising number of identity-related security tools into its stack, it's always better to be as prepared as possible, Tan says.

"The concept of solving for nonhuman identity risks is still in the early innings, similar to LLM risks," he says. "The idea is to pick a handful of early innovators and compare the results. In my experience, they're usually always different, allowing us to think about the various threat vectors."

Fighting Crime With Technology: Safety First

“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

The password-killing tech known as “passkeys” have proliferated over the past two years, developed by the tech industry association known as the FIDO Alliance as an easier and more secure authentication alternative. And although superseding any technology as entrenched as passwords is difficult, new features and resources launching this week are pushing passkeys toward a tipping point.

At the FIDO Alliance's Authenticate Conference in Carlsbad, California, on Monday, researchers are announcing two projects that will make passkeys easier for organizations to offer—and easier for everyone to use. One is a new technical specification called Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) that will make passkeys portable between digital ecosystems, a feature that users have increasingly demanded. The other is a website, called Passkey Central, where developers and system administrators can find resources like metrics and implementation guides that make it easier to add support for passkeys on existing digital platforms.

“To me, both announcements are part of the broader story of the industry working together to stop our dependence on passwords,” Andrew Shikiar, CEO of the FIDO Alliance, told WIRED ahead of Monday's announcements. “And when it comes to CXP, we have all these companies who are fierce competitors willing to collaborate on credential exchange."

CXP comprises a set of draft specifications developed by the FIDO Alliance's “Credential Provider Special Interest Group.” Development of technical standards can often be a fraught bureaucratic process, but the creation of CXP seems to have been positive and collaborative. Researchers from the password managers 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, NordPass, and Enpass all worked on CXP, as did those from the identity providers Okta as well as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, and SK Telecom.

The specifications are significant for a few reasons. CXP was created for passkeys and is meant to address a longstanding criticism that passkeys could contribute to user lock-in by making it prohibitively difficult for people to move between operating system vendors and types of devices. In many ways, though, this problem already exists with passwords. Export features that allow you to move all of your passwords from one manager to another are often dangerously exposed and essentially just dump a list of all of your passwords into a plaintext file.

It's gotten much easier to sync passkeys across your devices through a single password manager, but CXP aims to standardize the technical process for securely transferring them between platforms so users are free—and safe—to roam the digital landscape. Importantly, while CXP was designed with passkeys in mind, it is really a specification that can be adapted to securely exchange other secrets as well, including passwords or other types of data.

“In the future, this could apply to mobile driver's licenses, say, or passports—any secrets that you want to export somewhere and import into another system,” Christiaan Brand, identity and security group product manager at Google, tells WIRED. “We've got most of the rough edges sanded down with passkeys, but one of the main pieces of negative feedback over the past year has been around portability and potential vendor lock-in. I think with this, we are signaling to the world that passkeys are growing up.”

The goal of the resource repository Passkey Central is similarly to help the ecosystem expand and mature. Product leads or security professionals who want to implement passkeys for their user base may need to make a business case to executives to get budget for the project. The FIDO Alliance is basically aiming to help them with the pitch—providing data and communications materials—and then support their rollout with prefab materials like implementation and roll-out guides, user experience and design guidelines, documentation around accessibility, and troubleshooting.

“We've made amazing progress on passkeys,” FIDO's Shikiar says. “Usability and user experience are pretty much there. But we do have a punch list and we’re actively working on it. Portability is an important feature on that list. And while the biggest brands on the planet are now using passkeys at scale, there’s a very long tail of companies that haven’t gotten started yet. So we want to offer resources and the assets they need to be successful."

Craig Newmark Philanthropies' Cyber Civil Defense coalition provides some funding to advance passkeys. In an interview with WIRED ahead of Monday's announcements, Newmark said he believes that passkeys can make a real difference both for the digital security of individual people and for internet security overall.

“There are a lot of vulnerable systems out there,” Newmark says. “You need to make it a lot harder for bad actors to defeat password schemes. You need to make everything more secure, and passkeys is part of that.”

Hey there, it's your weekly dose of "_what the heck is going on in cybersecurity land_" – and trust me, you NEED to be in the loop this time. We've got everything from zero-day exploits and AI gone rogue to the FBI playing crypto kingpin – it's full of stuff they don't 🤫 want you to know.

So let's jump in before we get FOMO.

****⚡ Threat of the Week****

**GoldenJackal Hacks Air-Gapped Systems:** Meet GoldenJackal, the hacking crew you've probably never heard of – but should definitely know about now. They're busting into super-secure, air-gapped computer systems with sneaky worms spread through infected USB drives (yes, really!), proving that even the most isolated networks aren't safe. ESET researchers caught them red-handed using two different custom-made tools to target high-profile victims, including a South Asian embassy in Belarus and a European Union government organization.

****🔔 Top News****

*   **Mozilla Patches Firefox 0-Day:** Mozilla patched a critical zero-day flaw in its Firefox browser that it said has been actively exploited in the wild to target Tor browser users. While there are currently no details on the attacks, users are advised to update to Firefox 131.0.2, Firefox ESR 128.3.1, and Firefox ESR 115.16.1.
*   **Contagious Interview Remains Lucrative for N. Korea:** Ever since details about a North Korean hacking campaign called Contagious Interview came to light nearly a year ago, it has continued to target the technology sector with no signs of stopping anytime soon. These attacks aim to deliver backdoors and information-stealing malware by deceiving developers into executing malicious code under the pretext of a coding assignment as part of a job interview after approaching them on platforms like LinkedIn.
*   **OpenAI Disrupts Malicious Operations:** OpenAI said it has disrupted over 20 malicious cyber operations since the start of the year that abused its generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT, for debugging and developing malware, spreading misinformation, evading detection, and vulnerability research. One of the activity clusters was observed targeting OpenAI employees via spear-phishing attacks to deploy the SugarGh0st RAT.
*   **FBI Creates Fake Crypto to Disrupt Fraudulent Operation:** The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took the "unprecedented step" of creating its own cryptocurrency token and a company called NexFundAI to take down a fraud operation that allegedly manipulated digital asset markets by orchestrating an illegal scheme known as wash trading. A total of 18 people and entities have been charged in connection with the pump-and-dump scam, with three arrests reported so far.
*   **Gorilla Botnet Launches 300,000 DDoS Attacks Across 100 Countries:** A botnet malware family called Gorilla issued over 300,000 attack commands in the month of September 2024 alone, targeting universities, government websites, telecoms, banks, gaming, and gambling sectors. China, the U.S., Canada, and Germany. The botnet is based on the leaked Mirai botnet source code.

****📰 Around the Cyber World****

*   **Microsoft Announces Windows 11 Security Baseline:** Microsoft has released the Windows 11, version 24H2 security baseline with added protections to LAN Manager, Kerberos, User Account Control, and Microsoft Defender Antivirus. It also includes Windows Protected Print (WPP), which the company described as the "new, modern and more secure print for Windows built from the ground up with security in mind." In a related development, the tech giant announced a redesigned Windows Hello experience and API support for third-party passkey providers like 1Password and Bitwarden to plug into the Windows 11 platform.
*   **Apple macOS iPhone Mirroring is Broken:** Apple announced a new iPhone mirroring feature with macOS 15.0 Sequoia, but cybersecurity firm Sevco has uncovered a privacy risk that could expose metadata associated with apps on an employee's personal iPhone to their corporate IT department. The issue stems from the fact that the iOS apps mirrored to the Mac populate the same application metadata as native macOS applications, thereby leaking information about the apps that may be installed on their phones. Apple has acknowledged the problem and is said to be working on a fix.
*   **Social Engineering Via Phone Calls:** Threat actors have found an effective social engineering vector in phone calls in order to trick users into performing an unintended action, a technique also called telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD), callback phishing, and hybrid vishing (a combination of voice and phishing). Intel 471 said it has observed a "sharp increase in underground offers for illicit call center services that can aid in malware delivery, ransomware-related calls, and other fraud-oriented social-engineering attempts."
*   **Malicious Extensions Can Bypass Manifest V3:** Google has said Manifest V3, its latest version of the extensions platform, avoids the security loopholes of its predecessor, which allowed browser add-ons to have excessive permissions and inject arbitrary JavaScript. However, new research has found that it's still possible for malicious actors to exploit minimal permissions and steal data. The findings were presented by SquareX at the DEF CON conference back in August. The research also coincides with a study that discovered "hundreds of extensions automatically extracting user content from within web pages, impacting millions of users."
*   **What can a USB reveal?:** A new analysis from Group-IB goes into detail about the artifacts generated in the USB device when files are accessed or modified on devices running various operating systems. "USB formatted with NTFS, FAT32, and ExFAT often create temporary files, particularly during file modifications," the company said. "USB formatted with NTFS on Windows provided more information on file system changes from the $Logfile due to its journaling capabilities." USB formatted with HFS+ has been found to store versions of files that have been edited with GUI tools in a versioning database. Likewise, USB formatted with FAT32/ExFAT on macOS generates ". \_filename" files to ensure file system compatibility for storing extended attributes.

*   **Ask the Expert**
    *   **Q: With mobile devices increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, how can individuals protect their devices from network-based attacks, especially in unfamiliar or high-risk environments, such as when traveling?**
    *   **A:** When you're traveling, your mobile device can be a target for attacks like rogue base stations—fake cell towers set up to steal data or track your location. To protect yourself, start by enabling Lockdown Mode on iPhones, which blocks vulnerable 2G connections. Always use a VPN to keep your internet traffic encrypted and avoid using public Wi-Fi without it. A great tool to boost your awareness is the CellGuard app for iOS. It scans your network for suspicious activity, like rogue base stations, by analyzing things like signal strength and network anomalies. While it may flag some false alarms, it gives you an extra layer of protection.
*   **Cybersecurity Tools**
    *   **Broken Hill: A New Tool to Test AI Models' Weaknesses** \- It is an advanced tool that makes it easy to trick large AI models into misbehaving by bypassing their restrictions. It uses the Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG) attack to craft clever prompts that push popular models, like Llama-2 and Microsoft's Phi, to respond in ways they normally wouldn't. The best part? You can run it on consumer GPUs, like the Nvidia RTX 4090, without needing costly cloud servers. Ideal for researchers and security testers, Broken Hill helps uncover and fix vulnerabilities in AI models, making it a must-have tool in the fight against AI threats.
*   **Tip of the Week**
    *   **Your Browser Extensions Are Spying on You:** Browser extensions can be useful but also risky, with potential access to your data or hidden malware. Protect yourself by removing unused extensions, checking their permissions, and only allowing them to run on specific sites. Enable "Click to activate" for more control, and use tools like Chrome's Extension Source Viewer to spot any suspicious behavior. Keep extensions updated, monitor network traffic for unusual activity, and consider using a separate browser for sensitive tasks. Features like Firefox's Temporary Container Tabs can also help by isolating extension access. These simple steps can keep your browsing safer.

****Conclusion****

And that's how the cybersecurity cookie crumbles this week! But listen, before you log off and chill, remember this: always double-check the sender's email address before clicking any links, even if it looks like it's from your bestie or your bank. Phishing scams are getting sneakier than ever, so stay sharp! Until next time, stay safe and cyber-aware!
