US Charges British Man in $25M “IntelBroker” Hack—Biggest Data Heist of 2025?

The US Justice Department just dropped a cyber-hammer on a British national tied to the "IntelBroker" breach—a $25 million digital smash-and-grab that’s got Fortune 500 CISOs sweating into their ergonomic chairs.

How’d they catch him? Follow the crypto crumbs. Every hacker’s Achilles’ heel? Cashing out. This guy allegedly got greedy—turns out laundering eight figures through centralized exchanges leaves a trail even the SEC can follow.

Meanwhile, Wall Street banks are "investing heavily" in blockchain security (translation: writing seven-figure checks to ex-NSA staff after the fact). Nothing like a high-profile breach to suddenly make cybersecurity a C-suite priority—right after the damage is done.
