PLEASE DON'T FEED THE SCATTERED LAPSUS SHINYHUNTERS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Unit 221B researchers warn that victims should refuse to pay or negotiate with the Scattered Lapsus ShinyHunters (SLSH) extortion group, whose tactics include swatting executives, threatening families, and manipulating media, as the Com-based gang's chaotic internal dynamics mean they cannot be trusted to honor any promises to delete stolen data.
