Russia-linked extortion group Cl0p claims credit for the hack, whose victims include British energy giant Shell, Johns Hopkins University, and a US facility for the disposal of defense-related nuclear waste.

The Russia-linked extortion group Cl0p, which has claimed credit for the MOVEit hack, earlier said in a statement that it would not exploit any data taken from government agencies, and that it had erased all such data. It did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.

The energy department, which manages US nuclear infrastructure and energy policy, said it had notified Congress of the breach and is participating in investigations with law enforcement and CISA. Large organizations including the UK’s telecom regulator, British Airways, the BBC and drugstore chain Boots emerged as victims last week.
