Clop Hack: ShinyHunters Hijacks Data Leak Site

ShinyHunters hijacked and defaced rival ransomware gang Clop's dark-web leak site.

ShinyHunters hijacked and defaced the dark-web data leak site run by the Clop ransomware gang, also known as Cl0p. SOCRadar describes the takeover as one major cybercrime group turning on a rival's extortion infrastructure. The report does not describe a new ransomware attack against an outside victim organization.

• ShinyHunters defaced Clop's own dark-web leak site.
• Clop, also called Cl0p, is a rival ransomware gang.
• The story is a gang-on-gang takeover, not a new victim extortion.
