Kai West, a British national known as IntelBroker, allegedly orchestrated a massive data theft operation affecting over 40 victims globally, resulting in minimum damages of $25 million. His activities included breaking into computer systems, stealing sensitive data, and selling it on cybercrime forums. High-profile targets included major corporations and the US Army. His criminal activities are tied to incidents from December 2022 until his arrest in France in February 2025. The FBI traced his cyber activities to link him to stolen data and implicate him in a broader scheme.
Some of the high-profile victims linked to IntelBroker in the past reportedly include Nokia, HPE, Europol, Home Depot, AMD, Apple, and the US Army.
West, using the IntelBroker username, allegedly offered the stolen files for sale.
These crimes, according to the court documents, include stealing and then deleting data from a victim on January 6, 2023, which caused at least $5,000 in damage.
The FBI connected this wallet to an earlier ransomware attack, implicating West in a wider network of cybercriminal activity.
