Love Electric Breach: 877,000 Driver Records Offered for $600
A forum seller is offering 877,000 driver records from UK EV salary-sacrifice broker Love Electric for $600; researchers found the sample looks authentic.
A seller named seraphims advertised 877,000 records from Love Electric Financial Services, an Edinburgh-based FCA-regulated EV salary sacrifice broker, for $600 in cryptocurrency. Ransomnews analysts verified a 999-row SQL Server export containing names, addresses, National Insurance numbers, and driving licence numbers, with internal relationships and licence-format checks consistent with genuine production data. The full record count remains unverified, and the company had not commented at publication; the breach highlights risks from third-party payroll-adjacent providers.

Three intrusions at UK criminal records office went undetected for two years
UK ICO reprimands ACRO criminal records office after three undetected intrusions over two years exposed thousands of records, including domestic violence victims.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office reprimanded ACRO Criminal Records Office after three intrusions between July 2021 and June 2023 exploited a Kentico customer portal unpatched since September 2019 and ignored Trend Micro antivirus alerts, including four quarantined Mimikatz detections. An attacker maintained persistent access for roughly seven months and staged data of nearly 11,000 people for exfiltration, though ACRO could not confirm exfiltration due to insufficient logging. ACRO notified more than 84,000 people on a precautionary basis; the Medusa ransomware group claimed the incident, and network segmentation kept attackers out of the Police National Computer.

Trezor customers hit with phishing calls and letters after shipping-partner breach
A breach at shipping partner ShipMonk exposed data for about 67,000 additional US Trezor customers, who now face phishing calls and QR scam letters.
SatoshiLabs, maker of Trezor hardware wallets, confirmed the August 2026 ShipMonk breach exposed names, emails, phone numbers, and shipping addresses for roughly 67,000 US customers who ordered between November 2019 and August 2021, on top of 3,889 customers affected initially. ShipMonk attributed the intrusion to attackers exploiting an SQLi zero-day in Metabase's Cloud SaaS platform and retained data past the 90-day deletion requirement. Trezor's own systems were not compromised; customers are reporting phishing calls and QR-code phishing delivered via physical letters.

Welsh environment regulator's FoI blunder exposes diversity data of 2,000 staff
Natural Resources Wales inadvertently exposed diversity data of about 2,000 current and former staff via a 2021 Freedom of Information spreadsheet published online.
Natural Resources Wales confirmed equality monitoring data of roughly 2,000 employees who worked between April 2013 and March 2018 was inadvertently disclosed in a spreadsheet released in 2021 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The data may have included ethnicity, disability status, religion or belief, sexual orientation, Welsh language ability, and caring responsibilities — special category data under UK GDPR. The breach was reported to the Information Commissioner's Office, the data was removed and permanently deleted, and NRW says it has found no evidence of misuse. The issue was discovered only after a member of the public alerted the regulator on 23 August 2026.
