Bridewell's BCON Collective uncovered a shared phishing infrastructure linked to the ShinyHunters cybercriminal group, revealing over 100 active phishing domains targeting multiple sectors and showing that credential theft often escalates to extortion within two weeks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
