AI Summary

Carnival Corporation confirmed a data breach affecting nearly 6 million people, attributed to the ShinyHunters extortion gang, after a threat actor compromised an employee account in April 2026 and exfiltrated personal data. The breach is one of the largest consumer-facing incidents of 2026, exposing customers of the world's largest cruise line operator to identity theft risk. ShinyHunters was first linked to the incident in April before Carnival's public confirmation.
