**Executive summary:** The Council of Europe is investigating ShinyHunters' June 2026 claim of unauthorized access to sensitive institutional data; the report reviews ShinyHunters' recent high-profile thefts, likely attack vectors (credential-stealing infostealers, cloud misconfigurations, supply-chain compromises, unpatched CVEs), the geopolitical sensitivity of potential exposed materials (ECHR case files, diplomatic communications), and immediate defensive actions such as privileged access audits, universal MFA, credential exposure checks, and third-party/SaaS reviews.
