Cisco’s Data Leak Drama: When Hackers Exaggerate and DevHubs Go Rogue
A hacker has leaked data from a Cisco DevHub instance, claiming it’s just a fraction of the total stolen. Cisco insists its systems weren’t breached, blaming a configuration mishap for the exposure. The leaked files allegedly relate to Cisco’s major products, though the hacker is known for, let’s say, “creative math.”
Hot Take:
When hackers claim they have the entire cookie jar but only pull out a few crumbs, you can’t help but wonder if they’re just reaching for attention while Cisco’s left cleaning up the crumbs from their public cookie rack!
Key Points:
- Hacker “IntelBroker” claims a breach of Cisco’s systems, but Cisco denies any breach.
- The data was sourced from a public-facing DevHub, not internal systems.
- IntelBroker leaked 2.9 Gb of data, allegedly from Cisco’s various products.
- Cisco acknowledges some data was inadvertently public but maintains no sensitive data is compromised.
- The hacker’s claims often seem exaggerated, with previous claims not stacking up.
