ShinyHunters claims to have stolen 297 GB of sensitive Council of Europe data (including payroll, medical records, and resumes) and threatened to publish it by June 16, 2026 unless demands are met; the Council says it is investigating and has not confirmed a breach, so the incident currently stands as a high-profile but unverified extortion claim.
