Hacker group claims mass data theft from dozens of companies, including Philips, Shell, Fiserv, GE

A hacking group known as Cl0p has claimed to have stolen significant amounts of data from nearly 50 companies globally, including Philips, Shell, Fiserv, and GE. Philips confirmed it was targeted, stating it "identified and contained an attempted cybersecurity compromise of a specific enterprise server related to internal data." Shell acknowledged a "possible incident" and is investigating. Fiserv and GE are also aware of the claims and are assessing the situation, with Fiserv reporting no evidence of compromised customer data to date. The group reportedly exploits vulnerabilities in software like PTC Windchill and FlexPLM, with an expert noting they "don't really target a specific company, they target a specific zero day vulnerability and go after it."
