Pompompurin was behind the November 2021 FBI hack
Pompompurin is a hacker or group of hackers who in the recent past was responsible for a series of high profile hacks and data breaches.
In November 2022, hackers have breached an FBI email server sending out fake emails to over 100,000 recipients in total.
Pompompurin claimed responsibility for this attack in an interview given to security researcher Brian Krebs.
Connection to the 2021 Robinhood data breach
Pompompurin appears also to be responsible to a 2021 high-profile data breach against the trading platform Robinhood.
In November 2021 the popular trading platform Robinhood was hacked. Robinhood released a statement acknowledging the hack and disclosing what type of data was affected.
On November 10, on a popular hacker forum, Pompompurin claimed that Robinhood’s statement was incomplete and the trading company didn’t disclose that ID card data was also affected in the hack.
This hinted towards the possibility that Pompompurin was also responsible for the Robinhood hack.
Contacted by Privacy Affairs, a Robinhood spokesperson confirmed that that ID cards were indeed exposed but affected only a minimal number of individuals.
Robinhood confirming this information indicated that Pompompurin’s claims on the hacker forum appear to be accurate and that he or they were indeed behind the attack.
