New Cybercrime Group 0APT Accused of Faking Hundreds of Breach Claims

0APT, a newly surfaced cybercrime group, has publicly claimed hundreds of breaches but security researchers from GuidePoint conclude the victim lists and ‘leaks’ are likely fabricated. The group’s leak site mimics legitimate data dumps and appears to stream random noise to simulate large downloads; its objectives seem to be extortion or scamming other criminals rather than evidence-backed theft. Organizations are advised not to assume compromise unless they observe ransom notes or locked files.
