ShinyHunters, a notorious cybercriminal group, is allegedly selling access to Santander Bank's database, containing data of 30 million customers, for $2,000,000. The breach has been reported on the hacking forum BreachForums by the administrator ShinyHunters. In a related incident, Snowflake, a cloud storage giant, has suffered a massive breach, compromising data from over 400 companies, including Santander and Ticketmaster. The hacker, who gained access through an infostealer infection, is demanding $20 million from Snowflake to return the data. Some companies have already paid the ransom. The breach was confirmed by Hudson Rock, and a Snowflake employee, Audrey Delou, had her account compromised.
