Researchers from Cyber Press, who reported a massive Twitter data leak today, found another data leak online. This time, cybercriminals exposed a file with 1.4 GB of leaked data from the National Security Agency (NSA). The data, which includes sensitive and classified information, is posted in a well-known data breach forum.
The leaked data reportedly contains sensitive information, including internal communications, classified documents, and personal data of NSA employees.
During the investigation, the Cyber Press team observed that the leaked file, named “rFDY.txt,” contains the following data:
- Full names
- Emails
- Office numbers
- Personal cell numbers
Furthermore, the 1.4 GB of leaked data also includes an extensive collection of email addresses belonging to government officials from various entities such as the Government, Military, and Pentagon.
On July 9, 2024, a user named “Gostingr” uploaded a classified file to a data leak forum, aiming to release a substantial NSA database and claim that the data was allegedly obtained from Acuity Inc. data breach., a company that works closely with the United States government and its allies.
As the investigation continues, the NSA is expected to implement additional security measures to safeguard its data. The incident is a stark reminder of the ever-present threat of cyberattacks and the need to protect sensitive information.
Although the access method remains unknown, the Cyber Press team has contacted US government and NSA officials to notify them of the data leak and is currently awaiting their response.
