AI Summary

ShinyHunters published data from 12.9 million Carhartt customer accounts stolen earlier in August 2026, with the breach confirmed via Have I Been Pwned. The exposed data spans accounts from the major U.S. workwear retailer and represents another high-volume credential exposure event tied to ShinyHunters, which has been responsible for numerous large-scale data theft and extortion campaigns. Affected users should be treated as phishing and credential-stuffing targets.
