IntelBroker has asserted a massive breach, and has now sold the access to a cybersecurity entity with a hefty annual revenue of USD 1.8 billion. The threat actor has traded USD 20,000 in XMR or ETH to an unknown entity on a dark web forum.

The initial offer touted access to a trove of sensitive information, including SSL keys, SMTP access, PAuth/Pointer Authentication, and various login credentials. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, a conversation surfaced on social media platforms purportedly involving IntelBroker, further fueling speculation.

While the forum post rumors hinted at the US-based cloud security giant, Zscaler Inc., the actual target remains unconfirmed due to the absence of corroborating proof. However, Zscaler’s recent security update on its website hints at a possible connection between the two events.

The gravity of the alleged Zscaler data breach escalated when rumors emerged surrounding a possible breach within the organization’s infrastructure. Allegations circulated that a threat actor was peddling access to the company’s systems. In response, Zscaler swiftly took its “test environment” offline for analysis, aiming to ascertain the authenticity of the claims.
