"As the time approached for the leaks to start, it appeared that the group had prepared for the possibility that the onion site might be seized or just became overwhelmed by traffic. When the onion site did start timing out, messages in the group's Telegram channel pointed people to links on a clear net forum where ShinyHunters posted the links to the leaked data. For four token credits each, people who registered for that forum would get a link to Limewire to download the data."
"The first six (and ultimately, only) leaks involved data from Qantas, Albertsons, GAP, Vietnam Airlines, Fujifilm, and Engie Resources. Qantas, who received more media coverage than other entities because of the court injunction it obtained to try to stop access to or use of any stolen data, confirmed that their data had been leaked. Would they have been one of the six if they had not gotten an injunction is unknown to DataBreaches,"
A threat group demanded payment tied to Salesforce-related listings and the payment deadline passed without satisfying demands. The group leaked data from six of the 39 listed companies: Qantas, Albertsons, GAP, Vietnam Airlines, Fujifilm, and Engie Resources. The group anticipated the onion site failing and used Telegram to direct followers to a clear-net forum where links were posted; forum registrants could obtain Limewire download links for four token credits. The group also opened a clear-net leak site offering free downloads. Despite multiple listings, no further leaks occurred and followers received taunting responses when they pressed for more.
