Cybercrime Groups Clash as ShinyHunters Claims Control of Rival's Dark Web Site
A public feud has emerged between two prominent cybercrime groups, ShinyHunters and cl0p, after ShinyHunters claimed to have hijacked cl0p's dark web site by exploiting a software vulnerability. This dispute reportedly stems from a conflict over a zero-day flaw in Oracle's E-Business Suite, which both groups allegedly sought to exploit. Cybersecurity experts confirm the rarity of such open clashes among cybercriminals. Cl0p has not responded to requests for comment, and the hijacked site displayed a seizure message by ShinyHunters.
