ShinyHunters hackers have taken responsibility for three high-profile data breaches involving Neiman Marcus, Truist Bank, and Twilio Authy, compromising personal details of millions of users and tens of thousands of employees.
The infamous ShinyHunters hacking group, known for their recent Ticketmaster data breach, has struck again with a series of new attacks. This time, they have targeted Neiman Marcus, a renowned American luxury department store chain based in Dallas, Texas; Truist Financial Corporation, a major bank holding company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina; and extracted 33 million phone numbers from Twilio’s Authy service.

DataBreaches has not attempted to verify any of ShinyHunters’ claims, but notes an immediate discrepancy:
HackRead reports that they looked at the data and saw that “the leaked Neiman Marcus database contains personal data of over 40 million customers, including 29.7 million unique email addresses.”
However, when Neiman Marcus reported the breach to the Maine Attorney General’s Office, they reported a total of 64,472 people were affected. DataBreaches reminds readers not to just accept threat actors’ claims that have not been confirmed by their targets.
