Burglar alarm biz gets burgled, ShinyHunters pursues ransom
"ADT reported unauthorized access on April 20, stating that the intruder made off with a limited set of data, including names, phone numbers, and addresses. No payment data was accessed, and customer security systems were not affected."
"ShinyHunters claims to have lifted over 10 million Salesforce records containing PII and other internal corporate data, stating that ADT failed to reach an agreement despite their patience and offers."
"The mention of Salesforce hints at a possible SaaS foothold rather than someone fiddling with alarm panels, indicating a more complex breach than initially reported by ADT."
ADT, a major home security provider, experienced a cyber intrusion by the ShinyHunters group, which claims to have stolen over 10 million records. ADT detected unauthorized access on April 20 and engaged incident responders and law enforcement. The company stated that the intruder accessed a limited set of data, including names, phone numbers, and addresses, but no payment data was compromised. ShinyHunters, however, claims to have obtained extensive Salesforce records and criticized ADT for failing to negotiate an agreement regarding the stolen data.
