2026 Brinks Home — ShinyHunters; HIBP 732,162 emails (customers/leads/staff) + partial cards (Aug 8)
Data compromised
HIBP-verified: 732,162 unique emails for leads, customers and staff, plus names, phone numbers, physical addresses, dates of birth, purchases, and partial credit card data (last 4, card type, expiry). Earlier actor marketing cited ~4.9M Salesforce-related rows / ~41GB — those larger figures remain unverified against HIBP’s unique-email count. Brinks says it will notify impacted parties consistent with law as review completes.
Technical writeup
Company-confirmed ShinyHunters incident with HIBP-attested scale — Brinks Home (BH Security) disclosed unauthorized access to a portion of its IT systems, with alarm monitoring continuing, and warned that an extortion party threatened to publish claimed stolen data (brinkshome.com/cybersecurity-update). ShinyHunters ran a pay-or-leak campaign and published a dump HIBP dated to July 13, 2026 and loaded on August 8, 2026: 732,162 unique email addresses covering leads, customers and staff, with names, phones, physical addresses, dates of birth, purchases and partial payment-card fields (last four digits, type, expiry). recordsAffected is updated from earlier actor-marketed ~4.9M Salesforce-row claims to the HIBP unique-email count. Customers should treat shipping/warranty and “alarm company” phishing as high risk and await any individual Brinks notices.
