ShinyHunters defaces Clop leak site, claims theft of victim data

ShinyHunters, a known cybercriminal group, defaced Clop's dark web leak site and claims to have exfiltrated victim data, potentially exposing organizations that paid ransoms. This is a first occurrence of a major ransomware group being hacked by a rival, creating uncertainty about the integrity of Clop's operations and renewed extortion risks for past victims. The claim is unverified, but if true, it could destabilize the ransomware ecosystem and trigger secondary attacks.
