0APT Cybercrime Group Accused of Fabricating Breach Claims

The newly emerged cybercrime group 0APT is accused of falsely claiming to have breached hundreds of major companies to extort ransoms. Security researchers from GuidePoint’s Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) have found no evidence supporting 0APT's claims, indicating that the group uses fake names and real companies to deceive potential victims. The alleged victim data appears to be fabricated, raising concerns about the legitimacy of their operations.
