Hot Take:

Cisco’s DevHub left more exposed than a sunbather at a nudist beach, and IntelBroker couldn’t resist taking a peek. Now, Cisco’s in a pickle, claiming it’s just a drizzle while everyone else is shouting “tsunami!”

Key Points:

  • IntelBroker released 4.84 GB of data, claiming it’s part of a 4.5 TB trove from a 2024 breach.
  • Leaked data includes software artifacts, network configurations, and cloud server images.
  • The breach exploited a misconfigured, public-facing DevHub resource with no password protection.
  • Cisco acknowledged the incident but stated no sensitive data was compromised, conflicting with hacker claims.
  • IntelBroker has a history of high-profile breaches, including Apple, AMD, and Europol.
