Brinztech Alert: The Alleged Database of Kohme Delivery is Leaked

Dark Web News Analysis

The dark web news reports a comprehensive data breach involving Kohme Delivery, a Thailand-based food delivery and activity platform. A threat actor has leaked the Full Source Code of the company’s technology stack.

The leak is reportedly extensive, covering multiple production repositories. This includes Backend Services, Landing Pages, and crucially, the source code for their Mobile Applications (Client, Rider, and Partner versions) built with Flutter. The intelligence analysis suggests the code likely contains Hardcoded Secrets, API Credentials, and Environment Configurations, effectively giving attackers a blueprint of the company’s entire digital infrastructure.

Key Cybersecurity Insights

Source code leaks for gig-economy platforms create specific operational risks that go beyond standard data theft:

• “Modded” Rider Apps: With the Rider App source code exposed, attackers can create unauthorized “Modded” versions of the application. These modified apps allow dishonest riders to bypass GPS spoofing protections, auto-accept high-value orders faster than humanly possible, or manipulate delivery completion times, defrauding the platform and honest drivers.
• Hardcoded Secrets (The Skeleton Key): Developers often leave AWS keys, Google Maps API tokens, or database passwords hardcoded in the source for convenience. If these are present in the leak, attackers can access Kohme’s cloud infrastructure directly, potentially stealing customer data or deleting servers without hacking a single firewall.
• Malicious App Cloning: The leak includes the Client App code. Scammers can recompile the app with embedded malware (banking trojans) and distribute it via third-party stores or phishing links. Customers thinking they are downloading the official “Kohme Food” app are actually installing spyware.
• White-Box Vulnerability Discovery: Attackers no longer need to guess how the system works. They can read the code to find logic flaws in the payment processing or partner onboarding flows, allowing for systematic financial fraud.

Mitigation Strategies

To protect the platform’s ecosystem and operational integrity, the following strategies are recommended:

• Secret Rotation: Immediately rotate every single API key, database credential, and service token found in the code. Assume they have all been compromised.
• App Integrity Checks: Implement Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) and code obfuscation in the next app update. This makes it harder for modified apps to run on the network.
• Play Store/App Store Monitoring: Actively monitor for unauthorized clones of the Kohme app appearing on third-party Android stores or being distributed via social media.
• Vulnerability Patching: Conduct a “White Box” security audit using the leaked code to find the vulnerabilities the attackers are currently looking for, and patch them before they can be exploited.
