A group of Threat Actors operating under the monikers; IntelBroker, Sanggiero and EnergyWeaponUser claim to have compromised Acuity Inc, a Federal tech consulting firm based out of Reston, Virginia.

The Threat Actors claim to have successfully exfiltrated sensitive information on United States government personnel, and United States allies.

Some data shared shows information on individuals from the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State. The information shared shows employee full name, government e-mail address, and government phone number (and extension if applicable).

Other snippets of data show alleged plans or operations by the United States government (not entirely sure, they're just snippets of text)

We have not verified the authenticity of these files... we're also not entirely sure how we could verify these files 🤔

We are not sure of the size or scale of the files either.

Good morning, or afternoon, or night.

We've updated the vx-underground APT collection of March, 2024. Later today we will be updating our malware analysis collection from Malpedia. Sometime later this week we will add more papers too.

That's all we've got right now.

Love you

One of our recommendations to nerds to keep up to date with stuff —allocate a binge read day.

1. Bookmark or save interesting tweets

2. Every Thursday, or Tuesday, or whatever, spend an hour, or more reviewing stuff.

3. Flex newly learned stuff to seem cool and badass

Imagine trying to present an educational video to inform people about the xz backdoor and thousands of people have to see our dumb ass takes 😂😂
