FRANCE’S Waltio, a French crypto tax platform, is facing a ransom threat from the notorious ransomware group ShinyHunters, according to DataBreaches[.]Net. The attackers claim to hold the personal data of nearly 50,000 Waltio users and threaten to leak users’ 2024 tax reports unless a ransom is paid. Waltio says its services and production systems remain secure and that no sensitive banking or crypto access data was compromised.
The report notes that the threat spots Waltio specifically and positions ShinyHunters as a group known for high‑profile crypto and corporate hacks. It adds that ShinyHunters are demanding payment to prevent public release of the data. The piece presents Waltio’s assurance alongside the attackers’ claims, without indicating any confirmed data exfiltration beyond the threat.
If you’re following the situation, more details are linked to Crypto News, but the primary update here is the ransom warning and Waltio’s denial of compromised sensitive data. According to DataBreaches[.]Net.
