Update on the Instructure breach we covered May 2: Instructure confirmed Saturday that names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and private messages between students and teachers were exposed. ShinyHunters now claims 275 million individuals across 9,000 schools worldwide are in the dataset, totaling 3.65+ TB of data including billions of private messages. The group set a pay-or-leak deadline of May 6 - this Tuesday. The Salesforce instance was also breached. This is Instructure's second breach in eight months. PowerSchool's January 2025 breach with similar scope produced a $17.25 million settlement.
Marcus & Millichap customer data was leaked publicly after the company refused to pay ShinyHunters' extortion demand. Have I Been Pwned added the breach yesterday with 1,837,078 unique email addresses, plus names, phone numbers, employer names, job titles, and company addresses. Marcus & Millichap is a major US commercial real estate brokerage that closed $50.9 billion in transactions in 2025. The company says the leaked data 'appeared limited to company forms, templates, marketing materials, and general contact information' but ShinyHunters originally claimed 30 million Salesforce records. The leak extends the ShinyHunters wave that already published Pitney Bowes, Carnival, Udemy, ADT, and ZenBusiness.
Trellix, the cybersecurity company formed from the 2022 merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, disclosed Friday that attackers reached part of its source code repository. The company says it has 'no evidence' that source code releases were tampered with, that the source code itself was exploited, or that customer data was affected - but it has not said how long the attackers had access, who they were, or what they took. Trellix is now working with outside forensics firms and has notified law enforcement. Trellix sells endpoint protection, email security, and managed detection products to enterprise and government customers. The company has not given a timeline for further disclosure.
ZenBusiness customer data is now public on Have I Been Pwned, with 5,118,184 unique email addresses confirmed - alongside names, phone numbers, and CRM records pulled from Snowflake, Mixpanel, and Salesforce. ShinyHunters had threatened to publish the data in March after a failed extortion attempt; HIBP added the dataset yesterday. ZenBusiness is the AI-driven LLC formation and small business compliance platform backed by Mark Cuban. The breach extends the ShinyHunters wave that's already publicly released Pitney Bowes (8.2M), Carnival (7.5M), Udemy (1.4M), ADT (5.5M), and now ZenBusiness.
Instructure disclosed Friday that a 'criminal threat actor' breached its systems. The company runs Canvas, the learning management platform used by schools, universities, and corporate training programs - and a successful breach exposes student records, teacher records, course content, and grades. Instructure has not said how many users are affected or what data was taken, only that outside forensics are investigating. Canvas Data 2 and Canvas Beta have been in maintenance since May 1, with customers warned about API key issues. The pattern matches the January 2025 PowerSchool breach, which exposed data on 62 million students and is still being followed by ransom demands against individual schools.
Update on the ANTS breach we covered April 22: French police detained a 15-year-old on April 25, suspected of running the breach3d alias and stealing data from France Titres (ANTS), the agency that issues French ID cards, passports, and driver's licenses. The Paris Prosecutor's Office charged the minor on April 29 with three offenses carrying up to seven years in prison. ANTS now confirms 11.7 million accounts affected - lower than the original 19 million claim but still one of the largest leaks of French citizen identity data ever. Exposed data includes full names, email addresses, dates of birth, postal addresses, and phone numbers.
Vimeo confirmed yesterday that user data was exposed when its analytics provider Anodot was breached. The video service hasn't said how many users are affected or what data was exposed beyond 'limited' account information, but Anodot's role suggests the leaked records include event-level user activity tied to Vimeo accounts: video views, account IDs, and the kind of telemetry analytics providers ingest. The pattern is the same as Citizens Bank, Frost Bank, Pitney Bowes, and now Vimeo: customer data leaks through a third-party vendor that the customer never directly signed up with.
Pitney Bowes customer and employee data was leaked publicly after the company refused to pay ShinyHunters' extortion demand. Have I Been Pwned added the breach yesterday with 8.2 million unique email addresses, plus names, phone numbers, and physical addresses. A subset includes Pitney Bowes employee records with job titles - a useful starter pack for highly-targeted phishing against named staff. The data came from a misconfigured Salesforce Experience Cloud 'Guest User' permission that let unauthenticated visitors query CRM records directly. ShinyHunters had posted Pitney Bowes on its leak site April 18 with a three-day deadline.
Update on the ADT breach we covered April 25: Have I Been Pwned added the leaked dataset yesterday with 5,488,888 unique email addresses confirmed - lower than ShinyHunters' original 10 million claim but still the largest US home-security customer leak on record. Beyond the email, name, phone, and address fields ADT originally disclosed, the leak includes details ADT downplayed: account creation dates, premise types, internal account flags, ADT installer IDs, and prospect/customer status. None catastrophic alone, but combined gives attackers enough context to run convincing 'security audit' phone scams against named customers with real install dates and installer names.
Online learning giant Udemy's customer and instructor data was leaked publicly today after the company refused to pay ShinyHunters' extortion demand. Have I Been Pwned added the breach yesterday with 1.4 million unique email addresses. The dataset goes well beyond contact information: it includes full names, physical addresses, phone numbers, employer details, and instructor payout methods - PayPal email addresses, mailing addresses for cheques, and bank transfer details. Udemy was listed on ShinyHunters' 'pay or leak' portal April 24 with a three-day deadline. The company has not publicly confirmed the breach or said how attackers got in.
