A hacker known as “IntelBroker” has claimed to have breached the cyber infrastructure of Space-Eyes, a Miami-based geospatial intelligence company. In a message posted on the Breach Forums, IntelBroker boasted of a swift intrusion, accessing sensitive data in a mere “10-15 minutes.”
According to Space-Eyes’ website, the firm caters exclusively to government agencies and organizations, including the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, various branches of the US Armed Forces, and crucial intelligence bodies like the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). If the alleged breach is indeed true, it could have significant repercussions for US national security.
Sensitive Data Reportedly Stolen, Including Confidential Discussions and Profiles
IntelBroker claims that the stolen data comprises “highly confidential documents about Space-Eyes’ services for national security within the US government.” The depth and sensitivity of the data are said to be exceedingly high, containing confidential discussions, correspondences, and profiles concerning the national security of the United States, along with individuals and ships denied entry into the United States or are sectioned under US law.
Hackread has reported that certain leaked files are already in the public domain, such as those found on the US Treasury website. These files include a roster of sanctioned or blacklisted cybercrime groups, including the North Korean government-backed Lazarus Group and APT-C-26, as well as individual hackers like Bassterlord and INVESTORLIFE1.
Sensitive Personal Data Exposed, Raising Privacy and Security Concerns
The leaked data also includes records of discussions concerning figures linked to terrorism. The personal data within the leaked records belongs to individuals worldwide, including full names, phone numbers, company names, job descriptions, email addresses (26,493), some password hashes, and complete location data including coordinates and addresses.
Space-Eyes has not yet released an official statement regarding the alleged breach. However, CISA has been notified about the incident. IntelBroker told Hackread.com that Space-Eyes was an easy target and that they breached the company directly without involving any third party. This is a developing story, and further updates are expected.
