ReliaQuest confirms failed data-theft attack after ShinyHunters breach
ReliaQuest confirmed that a social engineering attack targeted one of its employees, with attackers impersonating a member of the company's security team. The incident is connected to a broader ShinyHunters breach. The theft attempt was unsuccessful.
Why it matters: Security practitioners should assess whether they or their organizations are in breach databases and review identity verification procedures for sensitive requests, as social engineering attacks on employees remain an effective attack vector even within security-focused firms.
