The hacker claims to have stolen Razer’s data, which allegedly includes source code, encryption keys, database access logins, and backend access credentials.
A threat actor going by the online handle of ‘Nationalist’ has claimed to possess stolen data from Razer Inc., a prominent American-Singaporean technology company. The news broke on Saturday when ‘Nationalist’ posted about the purported data breach on newly surfaced Breach Forums.
According to the seller, the stolen information encompasses a wide range of sensitive data, including source code, encryption keys, database access logins, and backend access credentials. To substantiate these claims, the seller provided screenshots displaying a detailed file tree and folders allegedly originating from Razer.com.
In exchange for the stolen data, ‘Nationalist’ requested a payment of US$100,000 in Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency, but also indicated a willingness to negotiate offers below the asking price. Monero, unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies, prioritizes privacy and anonymity, making it challenging to track the movement of funds and identify those involved.
“I have stolen the source code, encryption keys, database, backend access logins etc for razer.com & its products. I do not waste my time with non-serious buyers. I will be selling this one time. I am looking for $100K in XMR for the entire set of data, including access. MM only. I am looking for offers, not just $100k, can be less,” said the threat actor.
