They have gained notoriety for targeting similar companies and posting about their exploits on data leak sites.
While the origins and identities of the 8Base operators remain unknown, cybersecurity experts emphasize that their recent surge in activity indicates a well-established and mature organization. With a history of targeting companies that neglect data privacy, the group presents a challenge to cybersecurity efforts globally.
