# Cl0p claims a mass hack of Shell, Philips, and dozens more

**[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Ransomware group Cl0p claims to have stolen data from Shell, Philips, and dozens of other companies, tied by researchers to a zero-day flaw in Oracle's E-Business Suite. Shell reportedly lost about 89GB of technical drawings and facility data, while Philips lost roughly 13.5GB of diagrams and blueprints. Other named targets include GE and Fiserv. Neither the Oracle link nor the full victim count has been confirmed by the affected companies, and the incident echoes Cl0p's 2023 MOVEit campaign, which exploited a single shared software flaw to breach hundreds of organizations.

## Questions this post answers

### What vulnerability is suspected in the Cl0p attacks on Shell and Philips?

Security researchers have tied the campaign to a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle's E-Business Suite, enterprise software widely used for finance, procurement, and operations. Neither Shell nor Philips has confirmed how they were breached, so the Oracle link remains reported by researchers rather than officially verified by the victims.

_Security teams tracking enterprise software vulnerabilities can follow breaking developments like this on daily.dev._

### How much data did Cl0p claim to steal from Shell and Philips?

Cl0p claims to have taken roughly 89GB from Shell, including technical drawings, facility images, test report scans, and project plans, and about 13.5GB from Philips, mostly diagrams and blueprints. The group also named GE and Fiserv among close to 50 companies allegedly affected in the same campaign.

_Anyone assessing exposure from this breach can follow updates on daily.dev as details emerge._

### How is Cl0p's extortion tactic different from typical ransomware attacks?

Cl0p favors data-theft extortion rather than encrypting files: it quietly steals data, then threatens to publish it on a leak site unless the victim pays. During the 2023 MOVEit mass hack, Cl0p breached hundreds of organizations through a single file-transfer flaw, and when Shell refused to negotiate that time, the group published its data anyway.
