Well, that didn't last long! Recording this on Saturday morning my time, I observed ShinyHunters having gone quiet since the massive haul that would have been the Instructure ransom. It was two weeks almost to the hour since I'd first heard rumour of payment being made, and I posited that groups like this often go quiet after they feel the heat, only to emerge shortly after, the drug that is hacking being too strong to ignore. Anyway, here we now are:

DentaQuest has since been removed, but their website is currently returning "Access Denied", which isn't a great look. Obviously, the broken website doesn't look great, but neither do the optics of potentially having paid a ransom. But that does seem to be the way that many of these incidents are going now 🤷‍♂️
