By Sergiu Gatlan

AI Summary

7-Eleven confirmed a data breach attributed to the ShinyHunters extortion group, with the company stating attackers gained access to 'certain 7-Eleven systems used to store franchisee documents,' discovered on April 8. The FBI has separately warned that ShinyHunters, emboldened after receiving a ransom payment for its Canvas LMS attack, is likely to escalate similar extortion campaigns. Organizations in retail and franchise sectors should review third-party document storage exposure.
