Hello. The U.S. on Wednesday unsealed an indictment of a 25-year-old U.K. man accused of selling troves of information and credentials stolen from dozens of organizations worldwide since 2022.
The man, whom U.S. authorities say is known as IntelBroker, was arrested in France in February. Federal prosecutors are seeking his extradition to New York.
Alleged U.S. victims include a telecom company, a couple of internet service providers and a healthcare provider in Washington, D.C., according to the indictment. Over time, IntelBroker and partners sought more than $2.4 million from these organizations and through selling their data on the dark web.
When your business, employee or customer data is breached, it often goes up for sale online, being sliced and diced for years. The IntelBroker charging documents shine a light on how the operation worked.
