ShinyHunters Joins Extortion Effort After Red Hat Breach
🔐 Red Hat is facing renewed extortion after a breach of its GitLab instance used by Red Hat Consulting was claimed to have exposed nearly 570GB of compressed data across thousands of repositories, including about 800 Customer Engagement Reports (CERs). The Crimson Collective initially claimed the theft and says it received no ransom response. The group announced a collaboration with Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters and has used the newly launched ShinyHunters leak site to press extortion demands, publishing CER samples and setting an October 10 deadline. Red Hat did not respond to inquiries.
