4TB of Cellebrite info leaked online after hacker attack

An anonymous source has leaked around 4TB of proprietary data belonging to Israeli digital intelligence firm, Cellebrite.

The affected products are the company’s flagship product, Cellebrite Mobilogy, and the Cellebrite Team Foundation server.

Cellebrite provides digital data collection, analysis, and management services. Its services are quite similar to the infamous NSO Group behind Pegasus spyware. Cellebrite’s tools are used by companies, enterprises, and federal/state/local law enforcement authorities.

It is worth noting that as of now, the leaked data is only available to researchers and journalists by requesting Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), a non-profit whistleblower organization.

Another attack targeted against backup files for the Cellebrite Team Foundation Server resulted in the leaking of 430 GB of data. Reportedly, around 3.6TB of data was compromised and leaked from Cellebrite Mobilogy. This product is used for device diagnostics, content backup, transfer, and restoration.

The source behind this data leak is not yet identified. And no cybercriminal or hacker group has claimed its responsibility. The hacking technique is also not disclosed as yet.

The other day, an infamous Chinese adult content and NSFW platform Hjedd leaked over 14 million user accounts with approximately 24 GB worth of files since at least July 2022.
