Cisco is currently investigating a potential cybersecurity incident following reports of data being sold on BreachForums. The post, made by a known user, IntelBroker, claims that a significant data breach occurred on October 6. If confirmed, the leak is substantial, impacting high-profile companies including Microsoft, AT&T, and Bank of America.

The compromised data reportedly includes source codes, projects from GitHub and GitLab, hardcoded access credentials, certificates, various tokens and keys, builds, and cloud storage buckets. Confidential documents were also mentioned, along with some user information, though the latter appears less critical in comparison to the other materials.

The scale of the breach raises concerns not only about corporate espionage but also national security, particularly if competitors, such as Huawei, were to acquire this information. Should this leak be verified, it is conceivable that Cisco may seek to reclaim the data, potentially under the guidance of governmental authorities.

For now, the gravity of the situation hinges on the legitimacy and extent of the leak, with further developments likely to unfold in the coming days.
