Cybersecurity giant Zscaler rushed to conduct an investigation on Wednesday after a notorious hacker offered to sell access to the company's systems.
The hacker's post does not name the company, but he did confirm in the forum's shoutbox that it was Zscaler.
Zscaler announced launching an investigation shortly after learning about the claims.
A few hours after the investigation started, it announced that it had found no evidence of its customer and production environments being compromised.
In its latest update, the company confirmed that its production, customer and corporate environments were not impacted.
IntelBroker recently claimed to have stolen US State Department and other government data from tech firm Acuity.
The company confirmed a breach, but said only non-sensitive, old information was compromised.
IntelBroker has been making claims about obtaining US government data for more than a year.
In several cases, the data has been confirmed to come from third-party service providers, but in some instances the data was allegedly obtained directly from government systems.
Some of the hacker's claims seemed false or exaggerated.
