Target visé par une nouvelle revendication de fuite

A new ransomware group, Xpl0itrs, claims to possess source code stolen from Target, threatening to release it unless the company negotiates. While the claim is unverified and a previous incident in January 2026 involved a similar Gitea repository with a vastly larger volume of data (860GB), the current claim represents a significant concern due to the potential for the source code to be used to identify vulnerabilities and plan future attacks. The group’s history of making claims without providing evidence further complicates the situation, suggesting the current claim may be a re-publication of previously stolen data.
