On 2 November, threat actors shared a post on a hacker forum that the SOCRadar Dark Web team keeps an eye on. On the post, a hacker shared images in the Indonesian Ministry of Finance and stated that s/he could not understand what to do and needed a user with a higher reputation to help. The post is also shared as hidden content to restrict the post’s visibility in the forum. 

Iraqi Cyber Crime Records are Leaked

On 1 November, SOCRadar researchers found a leaked database belonging to Iraqi authorities. The database is about cybercriminal records in Iraq and composes of three different files. Since the post does not include any further information, one cannot be sure whether this leak can be described as an act of hacktivism or shared for reputational purposes only.
