Is it true that 1.5 TB of military secrets can cost $15,000?
A hacker under the pseudonym "TAINTU" put up for sale what is claimed to be a secret archive of US Space Force technology. The 1.45 TB archive, according to the cybercriminal, contains data on advanced defense systems and weapons with artificial intelligence. The cost of access is $15,000 in Bitcoin or Monero cryptocurrencies.
The announcement was published on the BreachForums platform on October 19, 2024, but was soon deleted by the hacker himself. According to TAINTU, the archive remains available through other channels, and it was removed from the forum solely because users of the platform showed insufficient seriousness.
According to the hacker, the archive contains files related to the development of technologies in orbit, including directed energy weapons, cyber warfare systems based on quantum technologies and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) systems. The documentation also includes diagrams, technical reports, and simulations related to the use of AI to intercept satellites and manage orbital defenses.
Among the leaks are allegedly development schemes in the field of quantum cryptography, antimatter energy sources and quantum teleportation technologies. Studies on countering hypersonic missiles and intelligence on the military capabilities of China and Russia are also mentioned.
TAINTU stated that the leak occurred directly, without the involvement of contractors, and provided sample files, including test reports on the Helios laser platform and data on the progress of the development of Directed Energy Weapons. The available documents describe plans to use AI to control defense systems and develop quantum communication networks.
It has not yet been possible to verify the authenticity of the leak. Media representatives requested comment from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), but there has been no response yet.
It is difficult to say whether this is a real leak or just another attempt by attackers to make money on a sensation. Perhaps this is a simple joke. In the cybercrime sphere, there is a very thin line between truth and fiction, and this often attracts attention, creating a considerable stir.
