TapTechNews May 14th News, the notorious hacker group IntelBroker recently posted on the dark web claiming that they had obtained internal access to a large security company, and they are selling confidential internal channels of the security company for a price of $20,000 (approximately ￥145,000 at the current exchange rate).
The hacker group claimed that the annual revenue of this security company reached $1.8 billion (approximately ￥13.032 billion at the current exchange rate), and stated that they had obtained the company's SSL credentials, SMTP server access, key employee account information, and PAuthPointerAuthAccess keys.
Although the hacker group did not directly reveal which security company they had infiltrated on the dark web, researcher JamesH said that the other party inadvertently revealed clues in the dark web chat dialogues, claiming that the company's name begins with the letter Z, and Zscaler's annual revenue does match the numbers disclosed by the hackers, leading to speculation that the hackers infiltrated security company Zscaler.
Subsequently, Zscaler confirmed that they had received relevant public opinion messages and conducted an investigation into the matter. However, from the current investigation results, it was found that the company's internal environment was not breached by hackers, and the customer/production environment was not affected either.
Subsequently, the company issued a press release stating that although they were not hacked by hackers, they accidentally discovered a server exposed to the public internet during an internal investigation. This server was mainly used to set up an independent testing environment and was not connected to Zscaler's internal network. To collect evidence, they have taken this testing environment offline.
