US Transportation Dept Hit by Data Breach

January 9, 2024
Reading Time: 4 mins read
in Incidents

A threat actor known as IntelBroker has claimed responsibility for a substantial data breach targeting the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). This federal executive department, responsible for planning and implementing federal transportation projects and policies, faces the aftermath of a significant compromise to its aviation department.

The breach, disclosed on Breachforums, reveals that the data exfiltration occurred on January 7, 2024, resulting in the exposure of a database containing 5.8 million flight logs from the year 2015. The compromised information includes crucial details such as date, airline, flight number, origin and destination airports, and various other flight-related data.

The data breach raises concerns about the cybersecurity measures in place across government agencies and affiliated organizations, as it is part of a recurring trend of cyberattacks targeting such institutions. While the motive behind these attacks remains unclear, the collective impact suggests a concerted effort by threat actors to exploit vulnerabilities within these critical institutions.

The compromised DOT data, which includes extensive flight-related details, signifies potential risks not only for the United States but also for North America as a whole. As the investigation unfolds, the cybersecurity community eagerly awaits official statements from the U.S. Department of Transportation and related authorities to understand the full extent of the breach and the measures being taken to mitigate its consequences.
