Prosecutors allege West stole and sold data from entities spanning government agencies, telecoms providers, tech giants including AMD, HPE, and Nokia, and healthcare providers.
Assumed active on BreachForums since shortly after pompompurin’s arrest, IntelBroker claimed responsibility for a series of high profile hacks between January 2023 and December 2024, including Europol, DC Health Link, Cisco and General Electric, operating primarily through the forum for trading stolen health records, internal corporate documents, and user data.
On BreachForums, IntelBroker was briefly a member of a racist cybercrime group CyberNiggers and became a prominent member there before taking on the leadership of BreachForums 2.0. Having identified himself as a Serbian living in Russia in a previous interview, IntelBroker has dismissed allegations of ties to the Iranian state as “outrageous”.
West was reportedly arrested by French authorities in February 2025, days after IntelBroker posted his resignation as BreachForums admin and owner citing ‘lack of time’ as the reason for doing so. He remains in custody there while US authorities seek his extradition.
