USDoD is a Brazilian cybercriminal actor associated with the theft, sale, and publication of large datasets containing personal and organizational information. Brazilian Federal Police arrested a suspect in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in Operation Data Breach; the suspect was linked to the USDoD persona through investigative and cybersecurity-research attribution. The actor has been associated with the December 2022 compromise of the FBI-affiliated InfraGard information-sharing program, from which member contact data was offered for sale, and with the 2023 disclosure of Airbus employee data obtained using credentials compromised by RedLine infostealer malware. USDoD also advertised a purported National Public Data dataset in 2024 for millions of dollars; National Public Data later confirmed a breach involving large-scale personal-data theft. The actor has made claims concerning other organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but at least one such claim was subsequently characterized as collection of publicly available third-party data rather than a direct compromise. USDoD has threatened U.S. defense contractors and has used underground forums to advertise and distribute stolen information. The actor's observed activity is primarily financially motivated, centered on unauthorized access, acquisition of credentials, bulk data exfiltration, and monetization of stolen datasets.
