As seen on HackRead:

Resecurity, which shared its research with Hackread.com, found that the leaked file contains information on 323,986 users, including their “metadata extracted from MySQL DB,” which is basically a digital footprint that could help identify the people behind the screens.

The database was published on shinyhunte.rs, a site that has previously hosted stolen datasets and is not recommended for direct access due to the risk of malicious content. The same platform has been used in the past to leak data linked to Fujifilm, GAP Inc., Vietnam Airlines, Engie Resources, Qantas Airways Limited, and Albertsons Companies, following incidents tied to a Salesforce-related compromise.

The BreachForums database was accompanied by a valid PGP signature historically associated with previous forum operators, indicating the dataset is authentic and likely originated from internal forum systems.

The database, which was appended to a message on a domain previously linked to ShinyHunters, has already been uploaded to HaveIBeenPwned.com. Significantly, perhaps, the submission is attributed to “Dorian Dali,” a name that appears in a message on shinyhunte[.]rs purportedly from “James” that claims Dali’s dox will be disclosed soon.

As always, there is drama upon drama surrounding all things ShinyHunters.
