Hackers are targeting accounts on Kodex, a platform that connects law enforcement agencies and tech companies and which is designed to verify emergency requests for customer data, according to multiple online conversations between hackers viewed by 404 Media.
Screenshots from one of the compromised accounts shows a panel where a law enforcement officer, or a hacker, can potentially “create a new request.” The screenshots show a wide range of companies such as tech giants Meta and Microsoft’s LinkedIn; cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Coinbase; social media platforms Pinterest, Discord, and Snapchat; financial service Fidelity, and gaming platform Roblox. The compromised account appears to belong to a national police force, but the screenshots do not include the agency’s full name.
