UBX Tanzania: source code and data breach

Overview

In September 2025, a DarkForums.ru user publishing as 888 posted a download described as the source code of UBX Tanzania, an IT integrator and managed service provider based in Dar es Salaam. UBX works with Microsoft, Cisco and IBM and provides technology and security services to Tanzanian organisations.

What was posted

The thread presents the material as stolen source code. The poster states that UBX Tanzania was breached in September 2025 and that source code was taken. The compromised data is listed under the label "Tree", which suggests a file tree or repository structure rather than a database dump.

The account behind the post holds GOD rank on the forum with awards for Leaker and Hacker, and it has posted other breach announcements in the past.

Independent coverage

DarkWebInformer reported an alleged data leak of UBX, and the Tanzanian firm Brinztech issued an alert stating that the database of UBX Tanzania had been leaked. These reports match the timeline of the forum post.

What remains unknown

The contents of the download have not been inspected. The number of records, if any, is not disclosed. It is not clear whether customer data, credentials or internal documentation are part of the leak, and UBX has not published a public statement that we could find.

Advice for affected people

Organisations that rely on UBX services should contact the company for confirmation and review any shared credentials. Users should reset passwords used across services that depend on UBX infrastructure.
