TL;DR Summary

Ransomware gang Clop has listed the first batch of victims of its mass-hacks, which exploited a critical security vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer tool used by corporations and enterprises to share large files over the internet. The victim list includes US-based financial services organizations, universities, and energy giant Shell. While the exact number of victims remains unknown, researchers report that Clop may have been exploiting the MOVEit vulnerability as far back as 2021. Many more victims are expected to be revealed in the coming days and weeks, with thousands of MOVEit servers still discoverable on the internet.
