IntelBroker Reveals Major Data Breach at Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Notorious cybercriminal IntelBroker has claimed a significant data breach targeting Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), exposing sensitive internal information and threatening to sell the stolen data on underground forums.

The hacker announced the breach with detailed claims of exfiltrating critical digital assets, including private GitHub repositories, Docker builds, certificates, and product source code for Zerto and iLO platforms. According to IntelBroker's claims, the breach involved accessing multiple internal systems and extracting a comprehensive set of sensitive data.

Screenshots shared by the threat actor reportedly reveal intricate details about HPE's infrastructure, including web service endpoints, configuration files, and integration credentials. The leaked information potentially includes access to APIs, WePay, self-hosted GitHub repositories, and user-related personally identifiable information (PII).

Cybersecurity experts analyzing the alleged breach have noted the potential severity of the exposed data. The leaked information could provide malicious actors with significant insights into HPE's internal systems, potentially enabling further targeted attacks or unauthorized access.

This incident follows a pattern of high-profile breaches attributed to IntelBroker, including previous successful intrusions into companies like Cisco and Nokia. The hacker is reportedly demanding payment in Monero cryptocurrency for the complete dataset, maintaining anonymity through the transaction.

HPE has not yet publicly commented on the breach, leaving many questions about the extent and potential impact of the alleged data exfiltration. Cybersecurity professionals recommend that organizations review their security protocols and potential vulnerabilities in light of such incidents.

The breach underscores the ongoing challenges faced by large technology companies in protecting their digital infrastructure from sophisticated cyber threats. As investigations continue, the full implications of this potential security compromise remain to be determined.
