GordonFreeman is a threat actor alias observed in connection with a claimed cyberattack against Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades). The actor offered allegedly stolen ministry data for sale to the highest bidder and posted sample data on underground forums. Reported sample data included personal records, email addresses, enrollment applications, and screenshots of documents and official paperwork. The actor claimed the intrusion was achieved by exploiting a critical Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability that yielded valid credentials and “full admin-level access.” The affected ministry operates administrative systems used by researchers, universities, and students and handles sensitive information. Spanish media reported that a ministry spokesperson confirmed the IT disruption was related to a cyberattack, but the authenticity of the leaked data and the actor’s claims could not be independently verified at the time of reporting. No additional aliases or sub-groups are provided in the available content.
