Fake ShinyHunters sextortion email uses Carnival breach data

A fake sextortion email claiming to represent ShinyHunters demanded $2,000 in Litecoin from Wayne P. of Louisiana, using data from the 2026 Carnival Corporation breach to appear credible. The FBI warns such emails often fabricate claims about device access and recordings, while the Carnival breach exposed personal information like names, addresses, and government IDs.
