Shell investigates Cl0p data theft claim as engineering files are listed
Shell has opened an investigation after the Cl0p ransomware group claimed the theft of around 89 gigabytes of internal data, said to include engineering drawings, facility photographs, project roadmaps and testing reports. Shell is one of dozens of organisations named in the same campaign.
Ransomware surges while AI dominates the conversation
Ransomware attacks rose 20 per cent in July 2026 to 799 confirmed incidents, according to Comparitech data reported by The Register. Finance, technology, pharmaceuticals and education absorbed the sharpest increases while attention stayed fixed on artificial intelligence.
