The IntelBroker hacker group has claimed responsibility for a potential cyberattack on a popular (undisclosed) mobile banking app boasting over 10 million users. The threat actor, known for their prowess in exploiting vulnerabilities, posted details of the exploit on a hacker forum on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
The post by IntelBroker, titled “[Cyber Niggers] Popular Mobile Bank Vulnerability,” offers an exploit capable of scraping and leaking sensitive information from the banking app. The data for sale includes full names, countries, and payment methods of users. The hacker is demanding payment exclusively in XMR (Monero) and has provided visuals to emphasize the gravity of the exploit.
IntelBroker Hacker Group and Cyber Niggers Cyberattack Claims
The exact target of this attack is not explicitly mentioned in the post. However, speculations stemming from the initial X post by Daily Dark Web hint at Nu Bank being the potential target.
In November 2023, parallel reports emerged of a cyberattack on General Electric, a multinational tech giant. IntelBroker, affiliated with the Cyber Niggers hacker group, has purportedly breached General Electric, claiming access to confidential military projects.
The hackers have attempted to sell network access on a hacker forum for US$500. General Electric, in response, has initiated an investigation into the alleged data breach.
The General Electric Data Breach
The breach allegedly involves access to sensitive information related to the US government defense R&D agency, DARPA. IntelBroker has not only claimed network access but also put up samples of leaked data for sale on the hacker forum. The data includes SQL database files, military documents, aviation systems technical descriptions and guides, and maintenance reports.
General Electric, renowned for its contributions to aerospace technology, particularly aircraft engines, collaborates with DARPA on various defense-related projects. A GE spokesperson confirmed awareness of the claims made by IntelBroker and assured that appropriate measures would be taken to safeguard the integrity of their systems.
IntelBroker has a history of successful and high-profile attacks, including breaches at Weee! grocery service, the District of Columbia’s DC Health Link program, and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. This recent incident highlights the persistent threats posed by cybercriminal organizations like the IntelBroker hacker group and Cyber Niggers in both financial and technological sectors.
