Troy Hunt discusses the ongoing ShinyHunters data breaches and dumps, noting the criminality, organizational responses, and the seemingly endless cycle of new victims appearing, such as DentaQuest and BCD Travel.

I'm finding it quite fascinating to watch the current spate of ShinyHunters breaches and dumps\. There's the obvious criminality of it all, but then there's also the response from organisations \(or lack thereof, as it relates to disclosure to victims\), the appearance and disappearance of victims on their dark web site, the speculation around payments and so on and so forth\. And it's seemingly endless \- I mentioned DentaQuest during the video, and sure enough, the next day, a 233GB corpus allegedly from them was dropped\.
