CTI Daily Brief: 2026-06-14 - ShinyHunters extortion hits Berkadia (305K) and Infinite Campus (137K); Krybit ransomware activity continues

ShinyHunters publishes data from two March 2026 'pay-or-leak' breaches affecting commercial real estate finance (Berkadia, 305k) and education (Infinite Campus, 137k). Krybit ransomware operation remains active with multiple fresh victim listings. AI-powered phishing campaigns and Telegram proxy-driven phishing remain the dominant correlation trends.

1. Executive Summary

Six reports were ingested across four sources in the last 24 hours, dominated by ShinyHunters’ continuing “pay-or-leak” extortion campaign and ongoing Krybit ransomware-as-a-service activity. ShinyHunters published data allegedly taken from Berkadia (305,216 accounts, commercial real estate finance) and Infinite Campus (137,123 accounts, K-12 student information system), both originally compromised in March 2026 via Salesforce instance access. The Krybit RansomLook listing showed sustained operational tempo with a fresh victim (Frey Brothers, Inc.) and a recent full-data breach disclosure for Tulip Mediworld Hospital. No critical-severity reports landed in the period, no CISA KEV additions were observed, and no confirmed in-the-wild zero-day exploitation was reported. AI-identified correlation trends continue to highlight Telegram proxy-driven phishing infrastructure and AI-powered phishing services (from the prior batch) as the dominant cross-cutting themes.

3. Priority Intelligence Items

3.1 ShinyHunters Publishes Berkadia Breach — 305,216 Accounts Exposed

Source: HaveIBeenPwned

ShinyHunters published data they allege was exfiltrated from commercial real estate finance firm Berkadia following a March 2026 intrusion. The actor’s “pay-or-leak” extortion model targeted Berkadia’s Salesforce instance, and the released dataset contains 305,216 unique email addresses along with names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and employer details. The reporting attributes the activity to ShinyHunters with associated TTPs T1566 (Phishing) and T1036 (Masquerading), consistent with the actor’s recent Salesforce-focused targeting pattern. Berkadia is a major US commercial mortgage servicer; exposed contact details for real estate professionals create a high-value secondary phishing audience.

Affected: Berkadia (commercial real estate finance), Salesforce instance data.

SOC Action: Hunt for ShinyHunters TTPs in Salesforce environments — review Salesforce login audit history for unusual RestApi / Bulk API usage, OAuth connected-app authorisations from non-corporate IP ranges, and large Account/Contact export events over the last 90 days. Tighten Salesforce IP login ranges and enforce session-bound MFA for API tokens. Brief real-estate finance teams that highly targeted spear-phishing against listed contacts is plausible.

3.2 ShinyHunters Publishes Infinite Campus Breach — 137,123 Accounts Exposed

Source: HaveIBeenPwned

The same ShinyHunters “pay-or-leak” campaign also targeted student information system vendor Infinite Campus in March 2026, with 137,123 unique email addresses published alongside names, employers, job titles, phone numbers, physical addresses, support tickets, and usernames. Infinite Campus stated the exposed data largely consists of school staff names and contact information already considered directory information. Notwithstanding the vendor’s framing, the addition of support tickets to the dataset is operationally significant — ticket bodies can reveal internal infrastructure detail, credentials shared in clear text, and named technical contacts useful for follow-on social engineering against K-12 districts. The correlation pipeline links this report to the Berkadia incident at confidence 0.90 (shared actor: ShinyHunters; shared TTPs: T1566, T1036).

Affected: Infinite Campus (US K-12 student information system) and customer school districts.

SOC Action: K-12 district SOC/IT teams should treat any Infinite Campus support-ticket history as potentially exposed: rotate any credentials, API keys, or vendor passwords referenced in tickets, and re-scan ticket archives for inadvertently shared secrets. Enable phishing-resistant MFA on all Infinite Campus admin accounts. Flag inbound emails to staff addresses contained in the breach for enhanced phishing analysis for the next 30 days.

3.3 Krybit RaaS Operation — Sustained Victim Disclosure Tempo

Source: RansomLook

The Krybit ransomware operation remains highly active per RansomLook tracking: 4/4 leak-site mirrors are reporting Up (100% 30-day uptime), 21 posts in the last 30 days, and the most recent listing (2026-06-14) names Frey Brothers, Inc. (US eco-friendly laundry-care products) as a victim. Earlier June listings span manufacturing (Mibet New Energy, China), Bolivian government health infrastructure (AISEM), UAE security solutions (Progress Security), and Philippine insurance (Liberty Insurance Corporation). The actor’s late-May listing for Tulip Mediworld Hospital was flagged as a “full data breach.” Krybit uses a ransom note named README-RECOVER.txt and is reachable via four .onion mirrors. No specific intrusion TTPs are described in the source data.

Affected (recent): Manufacturing, government/public sector, healthcare, insurance, transport, education — broad cross-sector targeting consistent with opportunistic RaaS.

Risk Trend Supporting Evidence
🔴 CRITICAL Sophisticated phishing campaigns leveraging AI technologies FBI disrupts massive AI-powered phishing service using a million URLs (batch 174 carry-over)
🟠 HIGH Targeting of commercial real estate and education sectors by ShinyHunters Berkadia (305k accounts); Infinite Campus (137k accounts) — shared TTPs T1566, T1036 at 0.90 confidence
🟠 HIGH Increased phishing activity via Telegram proxies Multiple @Turbotelproxy-channel proxy configurations distributing T1566-aligned phishing infrastructure
🟠 HIGH Ransomware-as-a-Service groups targeting multiple sectors Krybit (ongoing); Anubis, Nightspire, Nova continue from prior batches

7. Consolidated Recommendations

  • 🟠 SHORT-TERM: Treat Salesforce as a priority audit surface in light of ShinyHunters’ continued targeting. Review connected-app OAuth grants, enforce session-bound MFA on API users, restrict trusted IP ranges for login, and audit large Account/Contact/Case export events over the last 90 days. Traces to PII §3.1 and §3.2.
  • 🟠 SHORT-TERM: K-12 districts and any organisation using Infinite Campus should assume that historical support-ticket content is exposed: rotate credentials shared in tickets, scan ticket archives for secrets, and brief staff on follow-on phishing risk. Traces to §3.2.
  • 🟡 AWARENESS: Add Krybit IOCs (ransom-note filename, listed .onion mirrors, operator Tox ID) to EDR and egress monitoring. Subscribe to the RansomLook Krybit feed for early sighting of customer/supplier listings. Traces to §3.3.
  • 🟡 AWARENESS: Continue monitoring @Turbotelproxy and similar Telegram-distributed MTProto proxy infrastructure used to mask phishing C2 traffic. Block known t.me/proxy URL patterns at perimeter where Telegram is policy-prohibited. Traces to §4 (Telegram-proxy phishing trend).
  • 🟢 STRATEGIC: With AI-powered phishing services rated critical in the prior correlation batch, accelerate planned investment in phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn) for executive, finance, and IT-administrator populations to blunt the highest-value targets of scaled AI phishing. Traces to §4 (critical trend).
