ShinyHunters Throws a Tantrum, ReSecurity Calls Bullshit

Oh, bloody hell, another day, another cyber‑circus. So apparently the hacker group ShinyHunters is out there waving their digital dicks around, claiming they “hacked” ReSecurity — you know, the cyber‑security outfit that fancies itself the Sherlock bloody Holmes of the internet. They boasted about getting internal data, accounts, the whole shebang. Classic villain monologue, just missing the thunder and lightning in the background.

But wait, hold your goddamn horses — ReSecurity comes back swinging, calling bullshit on the entire claim. According to them, the so‑called “hack” was just one big fat honeypot. You know, that baited trap they leave out precisely for self‑important asshats like ShinyHunters to face‑plant into. They basically say, “Yeah, we totally *intended* for you cyber‑clowns to sniff around — thanks for volunteering as free entertainment.”

And honestly, it’s all a glorious shitshow. One side’s yelling about their hacking prowess; the other side’s saying, “Oh no, you sweet summer children, that was bait.” The peanut gallery eats it up while everyone argues over who’s full of it (spoiler: probably both of them). In short — hackers being smug assholes, security firms being smug assholes, and the rest of us just trying to stop our coffee from spraying out our noses watching the drama unfold.

Anyway, moral of the story: if you’re dumb enough to brag about hacking a security honeypot, don’t act surprised when the world points and laughs. It’s like bragging about robbing a fake bank in a movie set — congratulations, you’ve just proven you’re dumb in high definition.

Reminds me of the time some intern thought they’d “found a vulnerability” on my sandbox server — poor bastard bragged about it all day. Turns out he’d just pwned his own test account. Coffee came out my nose that day too.
