ShinyHunters claims hack of ReliaQuest but provides no proof

ShinyHunters claims to have compromised ReliaQuest but has not published evidence to support the allegation. ReliaQuest deleted a public tweet about tracking ShinyHunters on August 23, following a forum post from another user that included screenshots and a provocative caption.

Why it matters: Security teams monitoring ShinyHunters activity should verify whether ReliaQuest's systems were actually compromised and assess the credibility of the claim, since unsubstantiated breach claims can create false urgency and misdirect incident response efforts.
