As of September 20, the site was inaccessible, and earlier communications reportedly indicated a message stating, 'Domain Seized By ShinyHunters.' Experts in cybersecurity informed that this confrontation seemed legitimate, although independent verification of ShinyHunters' claims by Reuters remains unconfirmed. This conflict is associated with a contentious zero-day vulnerability in Oracle E-Business Suite that cl0p is said to have exploited against over 100 businesses.
