The extortion group ShinyHunters is running a wave of data-theft attacks against organizations using Oracle PeopleSoft, the enterprise software that large institutions rely on for HR, payroll, finance, and student records. Both cloud and on-premises instances are affected, and the gang claims data from more than 100 organizations. Attackers typically log in with stolen employee credentials, move through the PeopleSoft environment, and exfiltrate large datasets before demanding a Bitcoin ransom. A confirmed victim is the University of Nottingham, where a breach of an Oracle student-records system exposed 454,635 accounts. Researchers have shared attacker IP addresses and noted the use of MeshCentral remote-access agents.
ServiceNow has quietly told affected customers that attackers exploited an unauthenticated flaw in one of its API endpoints to pull data from hosted customer instances. The company applied a fix to hosted instances on June 5 that restricts the endpoint to authenticated users, and confirmed attackers had successfully queried customer instance tables, though it did not say what data was taken. ServiceNow instances routinely hold sensitive material such as IT support tickets, employee records, asset inventories, and internal documentation, and support tickets in particular often contain credentials, API tokens, and secrets shared during troubleshooting. ServiceNow has opened support cases with the customers it believes were impacted.
Meta has confirmed that attackers took over 20,225 Instagram accounts by abusing a flaw in its AI-assisted account recovery tool, called High Touch Support. A bug meant the system never checked that the email address someone supplied actually belonged to the account, so an attacker could request a password reset for any account and have the link sent to their own inbox, then walk in, unless the target had two-factor authentication on. High-profile accounts, reportedly including the Obama White House and US Space Force personnel, were hijacked and sold on the dark web. Meta has secured the accounts and is fixing the verification check before relaunching the tool.
RCI Hospitality, one of the largest US adult-nightclub operators, has confirmed that a breach exposed the personal data of 40,178 people, mostly independent contractors. Attackers got in through an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) flaw on one of the company's IIS web servers, a common web bug where simply changing an ID number in a web address lets you pull up someone else's record. The intrusion began March 19 and was spotted four days later. Stolen data includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver's license numbers. RCI says no customer or financial systems were touched, and the data has not yet appeared publicly.
Baker Distributing, one of the largest US wholesalers of heating, cooling, and refrigeration equipment, has been hit by the extortion group ShinyHunters, which stole company data and posted it after the company did not pay. Breach-tracking service Have I Been Pwned has now confirmed 102,935 affected accounts; the gang originally claimed more than 260,000 stolen records pulled from Salesforce and internal SharePoint sites, including HR documents. ShinyHunters has been on a tear this year, breaking into corporate SaaS accounts by tricking IT help desks into resetting credentials. Exposed personal and business data fuels follow-on phishing aimed at Baker's customers and staff.
Have I Been Pwned has added BCD Travel - one of the world's largest corporate travel-management companies - to its breach corpus with 396,313 unique email addresses. BCD Travel arranges business travel for large enterprises and government clients worldwide, so the exposed dataset likely skews toward corporate and frequent-traveler accounts. As is typical for HIBP additions, the underlying breach source and disclosure details are not published alongside the entry, but the listing lets individuals and organizations check whether their accounts appear in the leaked dataset. Affected travelers should anticipate travel-themed phishing - itinerary updates, booking confirmations, loyalty-program lures - and should rotate any reused passwords and enable MFA.
The UN World Food Programme - the world's largest humanitarian organization - has disclosed that its self-registration application for Palestine, used to register Gaza residents for assistance, was breached. Attackers accessed beneficiaries' names, ID numbers, phone numbers, and location data (including neighborhood information recorded at registration). The WFP says the intrusion occurred May 14 and exposed data for roughly 600,000 Palestinian households in Gaza. It has temporarily suspended the registration platform and stressed that assistance will continue uninterrupted. The agency warned beneficiaries to be wary of anyone claiming to represent the WFP and requesting information or money, and not to click suspicious links - a clear phishing-risk signal.
Have I Been Pwned has added US dental-benefits provider DentaQuest to its breach corpus with 2,553,599 unique email addresses. DentaQuest is one of the largest dental and vision benefits administrators in the United States, serving Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial members. As is typical for HIBP additions, the underlying breach source and disclosure details are not published alongside the entry, but the listing lets individuals and organizations check whether their accounts appear in the leaked dataset. Healthcare and insurance data carries elevated risk: affected members should anticipate benefits-themed phishing, claim-status lures, and identity-theft attempts, and should rotate any reused passwords. It is among the larger US healthcare-adjacent breaches surfacing recently.
Dashlane has updated its brute-force-attack disclosure with a material escalation: attackers successfully downloaded a copy of the encrypted vaults belonging to fewer than 20 personal-plan users. The campaign aimed to break two-factor authentication and register new devices on existing accounts; the high volume of attempts triggered the temporary suspensions reported earlier. Dashlane says it directly notified each affected user and that anyone who did not receive a vault-risk message is unaffected. Crucially, vault data cannot be decrypted without the Master Password, so unless a password is trivial and predictable, cracking attempts are unlikely to succeed. Dashlane's internal systems were not compromised. Users should review registered devices and enable 2FA.
Have I Been Pwned has added the US automotive marketplace Edmunds to its breach corpus with 177,860 unique email addresses. Edmunds is a widely used car-research and shopping platform offering pricing, reviews, and dealer listings. As is typical for HIBP additions, the underlying breach source and disclosure details are not published alongside the entry, but the listing lets individuals and organizations check whether their accounts appear in the leaked dataset. Affected users should anticipate car-buying-themed phishing such as financing offers, dealer-contact lures, or vehicle-quote follow-ups, and should rotate any reused passwords. The addition continues a steady run of mid-size US consumer-platform breaches surfacing in HIBP.
