ShinyHunters seized control of the dark-web site used by the cybercrime gang Cl 0p and issued an eight-figure extortion demand, stating the amount represented 2.333% of Cl 0p’s net worth. The group’s takeover disrupted the gang’s online operations and forced Cl 0p to negotiate a new ransom. Meanwhile, Amazon blocked Meta’s Muse AI agent from shopping on Amazon.com, citing terms-of-service violations and security concerns.
