A hacking group claims it has stolen large volumes of data from nearly 50 companies worldwide, including Philips, Shell, GE and Fiserv. The group’s allegations are based on a posting on its website, according to reporting that cites the claim.
The targeted firms span multiple sectors and countries, but outlets describe the operation as part of a broader pattern associated with the group. Reuters-linked coverage characterizes the group as prolific and notes that it often exploits software vulnerabilities to launch attacks against many organizations at once.
While the stories align on the companies named and the scale of the alleged theft, they differ mainly in emphasis. CNA focuses on mass data theft from a list of prominent targets and notes the breadth of affected organizations. Free Malaysia Today likewise highlights that nearly 50 companies are claimed to be involved. Daily Maverick’s version, drawing on Reuters, frames the claim and provides context about the group’s methods, without independently confirming the extent of the data stolen.
