A closer look at the sample data reveals three distinct datasets, each containing transaction records with detailed information about financial activities.

Hackers IntelBroker and Sanggiero have claimed a data breach allegedly impacting HSBC Bank and Barclays Bank. The HSBC Bank data breach, along with the breach at Barclays reportedly occurred in April 2024, involving a security incident through a third-party contractor, ultimately leading to the leak of sensitive data.

The compromised data, which was being offered for sale on Breachforums, allegedly includes a wide array of files such as database files, certificate files, source code, SQL files, JSON configuration files, and compiled JAR files. Preliminary analysis suggests that the data may have been sourced from the services provided by Baton Systems Inc., a post-trade processing platform, potentially impacting both HSBC Bank and Barclays Bank.

However, Baton Systems has not shared any update on this alleged attack or any connection with the sample data provided by the threat actor.
