Feds Suspect Ransom Negotiator Ran ShinyHunters Extortion Site
Federal investigators suspect that a professional ransom negotiator — someone hired by companies to bargain with cybercriminals — was secretly running the extortion operation behind the ShinyHunters hacking group. The allegation, reported by KrebsOnSecurity, raises serious concerns about conflicts of interest in the incident response industry, since negotiators have privileged access to victim companies and communications with attacker networks.
Why now: The alleged betrayal of trust by someone in a position of confidence in cybersecurity is a striking and unusual accusation.
