ShinyHunters Targets Ernst & Young

The notorious extortion group ShinyHunters predictably stepped up to claim credit for this external vendor catastrophe. Organizations hoping to survive their vendors' questionable security hygiene must strictly audit and restrict access on third-party platforms before sensitive information takes an unprompted trip into hacker hands.
