Benworth Capital Partners negotiated with threat actors after more than 25,000 lenders had data stolen:
Thanks, Mathew! I just sent your new story on Scattered Spider to ShinyHunters to ask for his reaction, because it's clear from your reporting that not everyone went dark or silent.
His first response was "Ah crap."
That pretty much sums things up, doesn't it? 😂
I'll see if I get a more detailed response from him at some point. :)

Interestingly, #ChangeNow seems to have suspended #Monero purchases...
- Not just for #Euro, but generally #fiat -> #XMR... https://changenow.io/?from=eur&to=xmr&fiatMode=true&amount=20
I don't own Monero, but I do follow the news and I see this as a setback since everything else is a #Shitcoin...
- Thankfully #OpenMonero & #Haveno exist...https://openmonero.comhttps://haveno.exchange

Credit card cloning is too easy!
I very seldom see data breach notifications from North Dakota, but it's interesting to note that the state has now enacted HB 1127, overhauling its regulatory framework for financial institutions and nonbank financial service providers.

NY Attorney General James Announces Court Win Allowing Lawsuit Against Citibank to Continue
"[NY] sued Citi, one of the largest banks in the country, for failing to protect its consumers when they fall victim to fraud. The lawsuit alleges that scammers can steal from Citi’s customers because the bank fails to implement strong data security and anti-breach practices. As a result of Citi’s inadequate security, ineffective monitoring systems, and failure to respond in real-time and properly investigate fraud claims, New Yorkers have lost millions to scammers. "
