ShinyHunters hackers claim to have hit data center provider used by Microsoft and Meta

ShinyHunters, a notorious ransomware group, has reportedly targeted CyrusOne, a major US data center provider that serves notable clients such as Microsoft and Meta. The hackers claim to have stolen sensitive data, including 12.9 million Salesforce records, 600GB of SharePoint data, PII, contracts, and facility diagrams. The data breach could potentially enable physical intrusions and supply-chain attacks, as the stolen information may provide valuable insights into data center layouts, security measures, and customer relationships.

CyrusOne has not commented on the claims or paid the demanded ransom of $13 million, leaving the situation unresolved at this time.
