There is a secretive online place called Exploit, which is like a dark web forum where hackers and cybercriminals gather to discuss and sell illegal things, like stolen data, hacked accounts, or access to company networks. Think of it as a black market for cybercrime. Enter0 has posted on this forum, saying they have access to the computer network of a US-based construction equipment company that makes about $24 million a year. Hacker group has somehow found a way into the company’s internal systems, likely by stealing a username and password of an employee or finding a security weakness. Now, they are selling this access to other hackers. The price starts at $600, but someone can buy it immediately for $1,500. This kind of access is dangerous because it allows criminals to steal company data, install ransomware (a virus that locks all files and demands money to unlock them), or spy on the company’s activities. The company does have antivirus software (SentinelOne), but this proves that antivirus alone cannot stop hackers if they already have login credentials. It look Enter0 is a new and unverified hacker, meaning they are not yet trusted in the hacking community. Still, this kind of sale can lead to serious cyberattacks. It highlights how companies need stronger security measures, like multi-factor authentication and better monitoring, to prevent such breaches. In short, cybercriminals are openly selling hacked access to real companies, and businesses need to be more aware of such threats.
