From PC Mag: A hacker known as "IntelBroker" has claimed on the cybercrime forum BreachForums that they have breached Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), a US IT firm that caters to businesses and broke off from Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2015.
The hacker made a post on Jan. 16, writing: "We've been connecting to some of their services for about 2 days now." The individual also claims to have swiped source code, private GitHub repository data, certificates, and other data including some personal information, per a screenshot shared by Bleeping Computer.
"HPE became aware on January 16 of claims being made by a group called IntelBroker that it was in possession of information belonging to HPE," Clare Loxley, senior director of global communications at HPE, tells PCMag in a statement, adding: "HPE immediately activated our cyber response protocols, disabled related credentials, and launched an investigation to evaluate the validity of the claims."
Loxley noted that there is no "operational impact" to HPE at time of writing, nor has the company found any evidence that customer information has been exposed.
