Do remember the following about the data leak. First of all, this isn’t the “NSA” data dumps, and second, this is not in any way related to the Solarwinds data. We had checked this out with the person who posted the data. At the same time, it was publicly denounced within the same forum. The size of the leak is massive enough that this is considered a gold mine for other threat actors attempting to gain some fortune through nefarious means. But, according to Vinny Troia, a professional cybersecurity expert, the data came from the SOLR instance from Amazon. The IPs of the instance were 100.26.87.242, 100.25.105.212, and 100.26.81.209. 

Vinny Troia, a professional cybersecurity expert who stepped in initially asking the data dumper to not leak the data, somehow kind of got into a mess with the actor. See the below screenshot:

However, as you can see by the end of the chat, Vinny was caught telling the blackhat that he is a retard. It is 2021, yet allegedly the Professional Cybersecurity expert used mental retardation as a slur, which demeans mentally impaired people with retardation. In this era, the R-word slur has to stop. We are trying to reach out to Vinny Troia to validate the above image whether or not he did actually say this, else this could be another impersonator trolling the leaker and Vinny Troia. We are not sure until we find out the side of Mr. Troia.
