Have I Been Pwned has added 248,235 accounts from the March breach of CFGI, a US accounting and financial-advisory firm that works closely with corporate finance teams at mid-market and Fortune 500 companies. The extortion group ShinyHunters claimed the intrusion, posting hundreds of thousands of records including names, emails, phone numbers, and home addresses, along with internal corporate documents and identity-system metadata. Because CFGI sits inside its clients' finance functions, the stolen contact and relationship data is unusually useful for convincing business email compromise and client-impersonation scams aimed at authorizing fraudulent payments.
iRhythm, the US digital-health company behind the Zio wearable heart monitor, has told regulators that attackers stole patient data in a breach it considers material. In an SEC filing, the company said it detected unauthorized activity on June 8 in third-party-hosted business applications, accessed through a social-engineering attack, and received an extortion demand the next day from a threat actor claiming to hold proprietary data, protected health information, and other personal data. iRhythm says its clinical systems, medical devices, patient safety, and operations were not affected, with no payment-card or financial data involved. No ransomware group has publicly claimed the attack, and the number of affected people is not yet known.
Breach-tracking service Have I Been Pwned has confirmed that 305,216 accounts were exposed in the March attack on Berkadia, a large US commercial real estate finance firm that handles mortgage banking and investment sales. The extortion group ShinyHunters claimed the intrusion, saying it stole millions of Salesforce records containing personal and internal corporate data, around 27GB compressed, and threatened to leak them after the company did not meet its deadline. The breach is part of a broad ShinyHunters campaign this year against companies' Salesforce environments, typically entered by socially engineering employees or help desks rather than exploiting a software flaw.
Have I Been Pwned has confirmed 137,123 accounts exposed in a breach of Infinite Campus, a widely used K-12 student information system in the US. The extortion group ShinyHunters claimed the attack back in March, posting that it had stolen personal data and internal corporate information. Because student information systems hold sensitive records on minors and their families, exposed data raises the risk of identity theft and highly targeted phishing aimed at parents, students, and school staff. The incident fits the same ShinyHunters data-theft pattern seen across the education sector this year, including the much larger Canvas breach.
Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical giant behind Wegovy and Ozempic, has disclosed that attackers copied data from its internal IT systems, including information on patients in some of its clinical trials. The company stressed the patient data was de-identified, containing fields like patient ID, year of birth, sex, biomarkers, and lifestyle factors rather than names or direct identifiers. Novo has not said how many people are affected or named the attacker, and is not offering credit monitoring, instead advising patients and healthcare professionals to stay alert for unexpected messages or calls. Pharma firms are increasingly targeted for their valuable research and patient data.
France's government messaging platform Tchap, the in-house, Matrix-based app that civil servants are required to use instead of WhatsApp or Signal, was breached after a threat actor hijacked a single user account, no software exploit needed. The cyber agency ANSSI detected it on June 7. Officials say data tied to about 73,000 accounts, roughly 9 percent of users, was exposed: the attacker scraped everything shared in public chat rooms, which are not encrypted, while private end-to-end conversations stayed protected. The haul includes over 13.5GB of documents and media plus hardcoded LDAP credentials leaked in a PowerShell script. Entry was via the education ministry's server.
Kyushu Electric Power, one of Japan's largest utilities, has disclosed a physical security incident: a storage drive containing the personal data of more than 10.9 million customers went missing. Because the exposure stems from lost media rather than a network intrusion, the risk depends largely on whether the drive was encrypted, a detail that determines if the data is readable by whoever finds it. The incident is a reminder that data-governance failures, like unencrypted or poorly tracked portable storage, can expose as many records as a sophisticated hack. Affected customers should watch for fraud and phishing attempts referencing their utility account.
In an unusual misinformation campaign, fraudulent data-breach notices were submitted to Maine's official Attorney General breach portal and published before anyone verified them, forcing named companies to issue denials. One filing falsely claimed a Discord breach affecting more than 10 million people, submitted not by a company representative but by an individual using a personal Gmail address, a placeholder phone number, and impossible dates. Because the portal is public and a listing does not mean a breach is confirmed, the fakes can spread fear, damage reputations, and seed convincing phishing lures. It highlights how trusted disclosure channels can be weaponized.
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.
