Hacker Claims European Space Agency Breach, Selling 200GB of Data

A threat actor known as "888" claims to have stolen more than 200 GB of internal ESA data — including source code, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure definitions, credentials, Bitbucket and Jira artifacts, and proprietary engineering documents — and is advertising the dataset for sale on DarkForums for Monero. Shared screenshots show detailed internal hosts, configuration files, project hierarchies and partner-branded technical documents; however, the breach and dataset authenticity were not independently confirmed and the ESA had not issued a public statement at the time of reporting.
