Profile

The organisation operates under the alias Geekie.com.br. Its headquarters is located in Brazil. Publicly available sources do not specify the organisation's core products or services. No information about its size, market reach, or organisational structure is provided in the sources. The organisation first came to attention in cybersecurity reports due to a data breach incident.

On 2020-10-28, a threat actor advertised the sale of stolen user databases that included approximately 8.1 million records belonging to Geekie.com.br. The exposed data for these records comprised email addresses, usernames, and full names. Additionally, dates of birth, CPF numbers, and password hashes were part of the compromised dataset. The passwords were protected using bcrypt with either SHA‑256 or SHA‑512 as the underlying hash function. The breach affecting Geekie.com.br was presented as part of a larger collection of data from seventeen different companies.

The threat actor claimed to have aggregated a total of about thirty‑four million records from those seventeen entities. The actor stated that they were acting solely as a broker, compiling the databases for sale. While one of the affected companies publicly acknowledged the breach, most organisations, including Geekie.com.br, had not confirmed the incident at the time of reporting. Other companies in the bundle exhibited varied exposures, such as payment card details, social media identifiers, or differently encrypted credentials. Consequently, the Geekie.com.br incident is documented primarily through this third‑party breach‑sale announcement rather than an official disclosure from the organisation itself.
