Hackers from the notorious group ShinyHunters have issued a deadline for BOK Financial, threatening to release stolen data and cause "annoying digital problems" by August 24 . The claim, posted on the group's dark web leak site on August 22, 2026, has not been independently verified . The Tulsa-based financial firm, with over $50 billion in assets, operates across consumer and commercial banking . The hackers' warning states this is a final call to make the "right decision" . The group has not disclosed specifics regarding what data was allegedly obtained . BOK Financial has not yet issued a public statement. The development follows a series of similar high-profile extortion campaigns by ShinyHunters against major corporations this year, with mixed results regarding actual data publication . The situation remains uncertain as the deadline approaches.
