Cisco’s Data Drama: Hackers Leak 2.9GB with a Side of Cyber Comedy
On December 16, 2024, hackers leaked 2.9GB of Cisco’s data on Breach Forums. IntelBroker, the mastermind behind this cyber caper, seeks buyers for the remaining exposed 4.5TB dataset. Cisco blames a misconfigured DevHub, but IntelBroker’s antics remind us all to lock the digital doors and maybe change the password from “1234.”
Hot Take:
Looks like Cisco’s data protection has taken a hit, and I’m not talking about a friendly game of badminton. With hackers dropping 2.9GB of Cisco’s data on Breach Forums like it’s the latest mixtape, it seems like someone forgot to lock the tech giant’s digital front door. Meanwhile, IntelBroker is flexing its cyber muscles, proving that even big names like Cisco can have a “whoopsie-daisy” moment in the cybersecurity world.
Key Points:
- Hackers leaked 2.9GB of Cisco’s data on Breach Forums on December 16, 2024.
- The leak is part of a 4.5TB dataset allegedly left unprotected by Cisco in October 2024.
- IntelBroker previously tried selling the data, claiming it included info from Verizon, AT&T, and Microsoft.
- Cisco blamed a misconfigured DevHub resource, denying core system compromise.
- Partial data release aims to validate IntelBroker’s breach claims to potential buyers.
