ShadowByt3$ claims Nintendo - fresh leak-site listing plus a forum extortion thread today. Before this spreads, the group's record:
- serial unverified mega-claims since Oct 2025: Starbucks, Univ of Georgia, Syngenta, Stride
- dead download links on past leaks
- BTC wallet with no real payments
- basic Go encryptor, no anti-debug, no lateral movement
Nintendo's only confirmed incident is Crimson Collective, Oct 2025, minor per the company. Until samples land, this is a listing, not a breach

🚨 NEW: The Gentlemen ransomware — 478 victims, 10% of all ransomware activity in April 2026, and now identified by Brian Krebs as 36-year-old Alexander Yapaev from Izhevsk, Russia. The group uses AI to develop and maintain ransomware, giving affiliates 90% of ransom proceeds, and can turn its encryptor into a self-propagating worm with a single command-line argument.
What sets them apart: they released a same-day patch after a researcher published a decryptor. They monitor research in real-time. They exfiltrate data 2-6 weeks before encryption. And they require affiliates to prove a real victim breach before getting panel access — keeping law enforcement out. Full breakdown 👇
