Complementing the § 2 victim arc, horizon research confirms the campaign now lists 40+ confirmed or claimed victims (key: item:shinyhunters-salesforce-campaign-charter-and-7-eleven-both-c), with Canada Life (insurance carrier, UK/Ireland) and Pitney Bowes confirming breaches in the window, and Canvas/Instructure reported to have paid ransom on 2026-05-12. The relevant law-enforcement context: the FBI and France's BL2C previously seized the ShinyHunters-operated BreachForums portal that served as the campaign's extortion channel (2025-10-10), which briefly interrupted operations before the group rebuilt — a reminder that channel seizures slow but do not stop a credential-extortion operation with this many active victims. No leadership arrests. The unchanged defender action is connected-app OAuth-scope and refresh-token review.
