IntelBroker Claims Space-Eyes Breach, Targeting US National Security Data

Space-Eyes website

The notorious hacker operating under the alias “IntelBroker” claims to have breached the cyber infrastructure of Space-Eyes, a Miami-based geospatial intelligence firm. In a message posted on Breach Forums, IntelBroker boasted a swift intrusion, taking only “around 10-15 minutes” to access sensitive data.

According to Space-Eyes’ website, it 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). The alleged breach, if true, will have significant repercussions for US national security.

As per IntelBroker’s claims, the stolen data comprises “highly confidential documents about Space-Eyes’ services for national security within the US government.” The depth and character of the data are exceedingly sensitive, 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.

This breach mirrors IntelBroker’s recent previous data breach, during which the hacker obtained sensitive documents and data from Acuity Inc., a US Federal contractor headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

Initially, Acuity and the US government dismissed the data breach. However, when the hacker released additional data, alleging it belonged to “The Five Eyes,” both parties acknowledged the breach.
