Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Shadowbyt3$ on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.
