How an Email, Crypto Wallet and YouTube Activity Led the FBI to IntelBroker
Authorities in the United States have charged a British national, Kai Logan West, widely known online as “IntelBroker“, with a series of high-profile data breaches that collectively caused at least $25 million in damages to companies worldwide. The 23-year-old was arrested in France in February 2025 and now faces extradition to the United States to stand trial in the Southern District of New York.
