Breach and leak in Mandiant

Imagine how it embarrassing when a pick pocket steal the stuffs from cops which is same when hackers hack in to the system of threat intelligence analyst. Yes, the hacker hacked in to the system of threat intelligence analyst from Mandiant Security. It was one billion USD worth company when FireEye acquired them in 2014. Leaked dump contains sensitive information such as network topology, threat intelligence profiles for the Defence forces from Israel. And also it contains company worksheets. #leakTheAnalyst is the tag found in the social network.

When we look in to the leaked details it shows that how hugely they targeted the particular threat intelligence analyst. We feel it could be an insider job by targeting one particular employee, kind of spy inside the organisation.

This is a depth of the breach shown in the leak. Let see the below snapshot:
One of the worst thing is it kills the career of cyber-security person called Adi Peretz.
Victim #1 Profile:
--- Name: Adi Peretz
--- Op. Nickname: Mr. Muscle AKA FatFuck
--- Position: Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at Mandiant

In the leak they mentioned as the victim analyst got a HR interview with Novartis and they sarcastically mentioned as it might be cancelled.
