ShinyHunters adds Charter to trophy shelf after 4.9M customer records leak
ShinyHunters leaked 4.9 million Charter Communications customer records, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses, after the company allegedly refused their extortion demands. Charter confirmed an investigation but claimed no sensitive data was exfiltrated, while the breach is part of a broader pattern of ShinyHunters targeting organizations, including a recent Carnival Corporation data theft.
