The Phone Call That Changed Everything: Inside the $1 Million Ransomware Operation Targeting Enterprise America

The operation, led by the notorious ShinyHunters cybercrime syndicate in collaboration with Scattered Spider and remnants of the Lapsus$ group, has compromised at least 39 companies across multiple industries in recent months.

Among the victims are household names. The financial toll is staggering. According to communications intercepted by security researchers monitoring underground forums, the group's leader, operating under the alias ShinyCorp, is selling stolen corporate datasets for upwards of $1 million per company.
