The Council of Europe says it is investigating claims made by the ShinyHunters extortion group over a weekend, according to multiple reports. ShinyHunters alleges it obtained a large amount of data from the organization and threatens to disclose it publicly. SecurityWeek reports that the group claims it will leak 297 GB of data, including personal information related to employees. Bleeping Computer describes the Council of Europe’s response as an active review of the breach allegations, but does not add further independent details about the claimed data size or contents. Neither outlet indicates that the Council of Europe has confirmed the breach or the legitimacy of the stolen data. Instead, the focus is on the organization’s investigation into the extortion group’s public claims and potential impact. The matter centers on whether data access or theft occurred and what information, if any, was actually taken.
