Hacker Claims to Leak Internal Tools Allegedly Stolen During Unconfirmed Apple Data Breach

A threat actor is claiming to have leaked the source code for three tools used internally by Apple. The tools were supposedly stolen in an unconfirmed data breach of Apple servers earlier in June.

DarkWebInformer posted on X, claiming the threat actor IntelBroker has allegedly leaked the code.

MAJOR DATA BREACH IntelBroker has allegedly leaked #Apple‘s Internal Tools.

IntelBroker has released the internal source code to 3 of Apple’s commonly used tools for their internal site,

In June 2024, Apple.com suffered a data breach and lead to the exposure of some of their internal tools.

Exposed Project tools:

AppleConnect-SSO

Apple-HWE-Confluence-Advanced

AppleMacroPlugin

A post to a hacker forum allegedly contains the “internal source code” for three tools Apple uses internally.

The three tools were identified as AppleConnect-SSO, Apple-HWE-Confluence-Advanced, and AppleMacroPlugin.

AppleConnect-SSO is a depreciated tool that allows Apple employees to authenticate to access several other applications available on Apple’s internal network.

Apple-HWE-Confluence-Advanced is another depreciated internal Apple tool, although little is known about its capabilities or those of the AppleMacroPlugin’s.

So far there have been no offers to sell data or source code from the alleged breach.

AppleInsider says it has reached out to Apple for clarification.
