South Carolina loan company breach exposes Social Security numbers of 750,000

A South Carolina loan company disclosed a data breach that exposed the financial information and Social Security numbers of nearly 750,000 people. According to reporting, the breach affects anyone who received a loan through the company or who inquired about a loan product through a third party, meaning the exposure reaches beyond direct customers. Social Security numbers combined with financial details are among the most useful data for identity theft and fraud, and such records frequently end up for sale on criminal marketplaces. Lending and debt-related companies remain a favored target because they concentrate exactly this kind of sensitive financial and identity data.

Check
Anyone who took out or inquired about a loan through the affected company should watch for identity-theft signs, consider a credit freeze, and beware fraud referencing their financial details.
Affected
Nearly 750,000 people who obtained or inquired about a loan through the company, including via third parties; their Social Security numbers and financial information were exposed, raising identity-theft risk.
Fix
Affected people should freeze credit and monitor accounts; organizations holding financial and identity data should minimize what they retain, control access tightly, and extend protections to third-party partners.

SafePal order-tracking flaw exposed data of nearly 40,000 wallet buyers

Cryptocurrency wallet maker SafePal disclosed that an authorization flaw in a third-party order-tracking plug-in exposed personal data of about 39,798 customers, and a threat actor is now selling it. The flaw worked like a parcel tracker that lets one customer see another's order simply by changing the order number, exposing names, email addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and purchase details for orders placed between March 2025 and April 2026. Seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, and payment data were not affected. SafePal warned customers to expect phishing and impersonation, and noted that a fake firmware-update lure had already been seen. It has taken down more than 30 fraudulent sites.

Check
Affected SafePal customers should be alert to phishing and calls impersonating the company, never enter a seed phrase or approve a firmware update prompted by an unsolicited message, and verify notices independently.
Affected
About 39,798 SafePal customers whose names, emails, phone numbers, and shipping addresses were exposed; wallets and keys are safe, but the data supports convincing phishing, including fake firmware-update scams already observed.
Fix
Anyone who shared a seed phrase or keys through a scam should move funds to a new wallet now; organizations should audit third-party plug-ins for authorization flaws limiting customer data.

Trezor says shipping partner breach exposed data of nearly 14,000 buyers

Hardware wallet maker Trezor said a breach at its shipping provider ShipMonk exposed personal data of nearly 14,000 customers who ordered devices between May and early August. About 11,700 had full details exposed, including name, email, phone number, and shipping address, while roughly 1,900 had partial data taken. Trezor stressed that its own systems were not compromised and its devices remain secure, but warned customers to expect phishing. Exposed home addresses tied to cryptocurrency ownership carry an added risk, as physical attacks on crypto holders have risen this year. The company said it is introducing an anonymous delivery option in response.

Check
Affected Trezor customers should be alert to phishing and impersonation using their real order details, never enter a wallet recovery phrase in response to any message, and be mindful of address exposure.
Affected
Nearly 14,000 Trezor customers whose names, emails, phone numbers, and shipping addresses were exposed through the ShipMonk breach; the data enables convincing phishing and, tying addresses to crypto ownership, physical risk.
Fix
Treat unexpected wallet-related messages as suspicious, keep recovery phrases entirely offline, and for organizations, hold shipping and fulfillment vendors to the same data-protection and breach-notification standards as internal systems.

Valve warns Steam hardware buyers of data breach at its shipping partner

Valve is notifying European Steam hardware customers that their personal data was likely exposed in a cyberattack on CEVA Logistics, the partner that ships Steam devices in the region. Attackers had access to CEVA systems between July 29 and August 1, reaching the delivery details CEVA keeps for up to ninety days: name, street address, postal code, city, country, phone number, the email tied to the Steam account, and the hardware ordered and its price. No Steam passwords, Steam Guard codes, or payment data were exposed, since CEVA never held them. Valve warned customers to expect phishing and delivery-impersonation scams and to treat such messages as fake.

Check
If you ordered Steam hardware in Europe recently, expect phishing by email, text, or phone impersonating Valve or a courier, and treat requests for fees, signatures, or confirmations as fraudulent.
Affected
European Steam hardware customers whose name, address, phone number, email, and order details were exposed through the CEVA breach; no passwords or payment data were affected, but the data enables convincing scams.
Fix
No need to change your Steam password, but stay alert to delivery-themed phishing, verify courier requests through official channels, and hold logistics vendors to the same breach standards as internal systems.

Exact Sciences breach exposes data of nearly 11 million in extortion campaign

Data from a breach at cancer-screening company Exact Sciences, now part of Abbott, was indexed by Have I Been Pwned with about 10.9 million unique email addresses. The extortion group ShinyHunters claimed the intrusion, saying it reached internal legacy systems and then pivoted from a corporate single-sign-on account into connected cloud services such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and others to steal data. It is part of a wider ShinyHunters wave hitting medical-technology companies. Abbott is investigating and disputed the attacker's characterization of some data. The pattern, one stolen sign-on unlocking many linked services, is now a recurring route to large healthcare breaches.

Check
People who used Exact Sciences services should watch for breach notices and health-themed phishing, and organizations should map which cloud services a single corporate sign-on can unlock.
Affected
Roughly 11 million people whose data sat in Exact Sciences systems and connected cloud services; attackers used one corporate sign-on to reach linked platforms, a pattern behind repeated large medical breaches.
Fix
Enforce phishing-resistant MFA on single-sign-on, scope what each connected cloud app can access, monitor for bulk exports across integrated services, and prepare for extortion-driven leaks of healthcare data.

Alleged Żabka leak advertises source code, Jira data, and a reused GitLab token

A data-leak forum listing is advertising an alleged dataset from Polish convenience-store chain Żabka for 5,000 euros, claiming roughly 541,000 Jira issues, about 230,000 IT service-desk tickets, and source code from 89 GitLab repositories. The post names real internal systems, including the chain's point-of-sale platform and SAP environment, and more than 20 outside vendors. A reviewer of the sample archive found the counts internally consistent and noted that a single GitLab access token appears across all 89 repository dumps, pointing to reused credentials rather than a code flaw. Żabka has not confirmed the breach, and the seller's account has no trading history.

Check
Treat the claim as unverified, but use it as a prompt to check whether single tokens or credentials in your own environment grant access across many repositories or systems.
Affected
Żabka and its listed vendors if the data is genuine; the pattern, one reused access token unlocking 89 repositories, is the same stolen-credential route behind many recent source-code and project-tracker thefts.
Fix
Scope access tokens narrowly per repository, rotate and expire them regularly, enforce phishing-resistant MFA on developer accounts, and watch for bulk exports from source and project-tracking systems that signal credential abuse.

Amgen says patient health and research data stolen from third-party cloud systems

Biotechnology company Amgen disclosed that attackers stole patient and corporate data from multiple cloud systems run by third-party providers, rather than from its own servers. In a securities filing, Amgen said it detected the intrusion in July, confirmed data was exfiltrated, and determined the incident material based on the volume and sensitivity of affected files. Confirmed stolen data includes proprietary company information and patient protected health information, and the company is still assessing whether intellectual property, research and development data, and further patient records were taken. Operations, product supply, and financial systems were not disrupted. Amgen has not named a provider, entry point, or responsible party.

Check
Organizations relying on third-party cloud providers should confirm what sensitive data those providers hold, how it is protected, and whether breach notification and monitoring obligations are covered in contracts.
Affected
Amgen patients and partners whose protected health information and proprietary data sat in third-party cloud environments; intellectual property and research data may also be affected, deepening the impact beyond ordinary personal information.
Fix
Minimize and segment sensitive data held by vendors, require strong access controls and logging on third-party cloud environments, monitor for bulk exfiltration, and prepare for extortion and phishing after healthcare breaches.

Chipmaker Analog Devices confirms a breach and stolen files, says operations are fine

Analog Devices, a major US semiconductor maker, confirmed in a securities filing that an unauthorized party accessed some internal systems and exfiltrated files in a June intrusion, while saying operations were not affected. The company has not named who was responsible. Days before the filing, an extortion group calling itself ExfilSquad listed Analog Devices on its leak site and claimed to hold about 570,000 customer records with personal information and home addresses, but Analog Devices has not linked the June breach to that group, and the claim is unverified. The filing also noted a second, separate security issue unrelated to the June intrusion.

Check
Organizations that share data with Analog Devices should watch for a notification and monitor for phishing, while treating the extortion group's specific claims as unverified until the company confirms details.
Affected
Analog Devices and parties whose data sat in its systems; the company confirms files were stolen in June, while an extortion group's claim of 570,000 customer records with home addresses remains unverified.
Fix
Affected parties should watch for official notice and be alert to targeted phishing. Organizations should segment sensitive data, limit what vendors can reach, and prepare for extortion-driven leaks and unverified claims.

No-logs VPN breach exposes 58 million connection logs it promised not to keep

A breach at SplitVPN, a service formerly called NotVPN that marketed itself as keeping no logs, exposed a 17GB database containing roughly 58 million connection logs. The logs record which device connected to which server and when, running continuously up to the day of the breach, directly contradicting the no-logs promise. Cross-referenced with user and device tables holding emails, last-seen IP addresses, and hardware identifiers, they can reconstruct who connected from where and when for tens of millions of people. The data also includes about 23 million user records and 2.6 million payment records with masked card details. Operator account hashes were exposed too.

Check
SplitVPN or NotVPN users should assume their connection history and account details are exposed, change reused passwords, and watch for phishing and extortion referencing their VPN use.
Affected
Tens of millions of SplitVPN users whose connection logs, emails, IP addresses, device identifiers, and masked payment details were exposed, despite the service's advertised no-logs policy, enabling activity reconstruction and targeted fraud.
Fix
Treat no-logs claims as unverifiable marketing rather than a guarantee, prefer providers with independent audits or verifiable architectures, and where anonymity matters, avoid a single centralized intermediary that decides what to log.

DentaQuest notifies more than 23 million people after a data theft attack

Dental benefits administrator DentaQuest, part of Sun Life, is notifying more than 23 million people that their personal and health information was stolen in a May 2026 network intrusion. The company found unauthorized access on May 20 and determined attackers were in its network between May 17 and 20. Exposed data includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, member, Medicaid, and Medicare identifiers, and dental and vision health details such as diagnoses, treatments, and billing. The extortion group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and leaked roughly 234GB. DentaQuest has confirmed at least 15 million affected, with independent analysis putting the figure above 23 million, and is offering two years of monitoring.

Check
People with DentaQuest or associated Medicaid or Medicare dental coverage should watch for a notification, enroll in the offered monitoring, consider a credit freeze, and be alert to health-themed phishing.
Affected
More than 23 million DentaQuest members whose names, Social Security numbers, government program identifiers, and dental and vision health records were exposed and leaked, supporting identity theft and targeted fraud.
Fix
Affected people should freeze credit and monitor benefits statements. Organizations holding health data should segment it, enforce phishing-resistant MFA, monitor for bulk data access, and prepare for extortion-driven leaks.
