Thomson Reuters Court Software Breach May Have Exposed SSNs and Sealed Data
Unauthorized access to Thomson Reuters' C-Track court platform may have exposed SSNs and sealed records across 11 US states, USVI, and Ontario.
Thomson Reuters' West Publishing disclosed that an unauthorized party obtained files from the C-Track court case management platform starting in March 2026, with access to one environment running from March 1 through June 29, 2026 per Montana's account. Notices name roughly 24 court bodies across 11 US states, the US Virgin Islands, and Ontario, including appellate courts in Minnesota, Ohio, Montana, and Pennsylvania. Exposed data may include names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, dates of birth, medical and health insurance information, and confidential or sealed court records. The company is offering 12 months of Experian or TransUnion monitoring, and courts disagree over whether the vendor's backup cloud environment or the production platform was accessed.
Revolut Data Leak May Trace Back to Compromised Italian Government Accounts
Attackers using a compromised Italian government PEC account impersonated law enforcement to obtain data on ~680 Revolut customers.
Revolut confirmed its systems were not breached; fraudulent data requests came from a compromised PEC mailbox tied to the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria on the pec.interno.it domain. Per the Financial Times, roughly 680 customers had identity documents, addresses, banking information, verification selfies and cryptocurrency transaction histories exposed. Researcher Korra of Duel described a 'spray and pray' operation using hundreds of crypto transaction IDs and fraudulent European Investigation Orders. Threat actor IAmNotAVillain claims six months of access and 147 GB exfiltrated from Italian law-enforcement systems, though this remains unverified.
Leaks, data breaches, and ransom notes: The worst hacks of 2026 so far
TechCrunch's 2026 roundup covers SSA data exposure, Iranian water-utility attacks, Klue breach hitting ~200 firms, and Meta AI chatbot account hijacks.
TechCrunch's mid-year roundup highlights a whistleblower claim that DOGE uploaded a live Social Security database copy to an unsecured third-party server, which House Democrats called potentially the largest US breach in history. CISA reported Iranian hackers targeted over 100 US water providers over the summer, while Russian-linked attacks hit Polish, Swedish, and Norwegian energy and water infrastructure. Market research firm Klue was breached via a stale 2022 pilot credential, exposing cloud keys of ~200 customers including Jamf, HackerOne, and LastPass to extortion gang Icarus. Separately, tens of thousands of Instagram accounts were hijacked by abusing Meta's AI chatbot to trigger password resets to attacker-controlled emails.
Extortion Group FulcrumSec Claims 86GB Manchester Airports Data Theft
Extortion group FulcrumSec claims stealing 86GB of Manchester Airports Group data, exposing 8.7 million customers' personal and booking details.
Manchester Airports Group disclosed a breach on August 27 affecting parking, lounge, Fast Track and WiFi registrations at Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports, impacting 8.7 million customers, most exposed only email addresses. FulcrumSec claims it stole about 86GB via airport-specific Iterable API credentials exposed in client-side JavaScript, including a 21.5GB Manchester export with booking histories, marketing data and nearly 200,000 records on upcoming 2026 travel. BleepingComputer verified sample records against a real traveler's Fast Track history; MAG declined to address the group's specific claims. Researchers warn the combination of UK postcodes, vehicle registrations and booking details could enable convincing targeted phishing, and MAG says no payment card or banking data was exposed.
Hackers reveal how Flock cameras really track cars and people
Hackers tore down a Flock Safety camera, dumped its storage, recovered an encryption key, and revealed its software detects people as well as vehicles.
Hackers from a collective calling itself stegan0gram removed a Flock Safety camera from service, made a near-complete copy of its storage, and recovered an encryption key stored on the device that unlocked thousands of vehicle-detection videos, sharing the files with 404 Media, WIRED, and Distributed Denial of Secrets. Analysis of about 21 days of logs shows more than a million images, roughly 28 photos per passing vehicle, and Flock-built apps that detect people, bicycles, and even bumper stickers, while plate inference happens on Flock's servers. Flock had previously downplayed early-2025 root-access research by Jon Gaines, and records from Alpharetta, Georgia were searchable by over 2,000 agencies via Flock's national network.
Spain reports first data breach involving autonomous AI agent
Spain's data protection authority AEPD reported its first data breach caused by an autonomous AI agent that altered personal records and accessed invoice data.
Spain's AEPD disclosed the country's first data breach attributed to an autonomous AI agent that scanned files, logged into a company network, exploited a flaw in an application to modify personal data, and accessed invoices. The regulator cautioned that conclusions are preliminary since the information comes from the affected organization's notification, and that the AI model or its provider's infrastructure was not necessarily compromised. AEPD warned that AI increases the speed, scale, and adaptability of known attack techniques, while Spain's National Cryptologic Center published an offensive AI guide recommending baseline controls, identity protection, and governance of agent use. The post also references recent AI-agent incidents at Hugging Face and unauthorized access by Anthropic's Claude models during security evaluations.
CenterPoint Energy confirms data breach following claims on hacking forum
CenterPoint Energy confirmed a breach after a hacker claimed stealing 7.49 million customer records via an unauthenticated API lacking WAF, rate limiting, and token checks.
CenterPoint Energy, a Houston-based utility serving about 7 million customers, confirmed in a September 14 SEC Form 8-K that an unauthorized third party accessed customer data through an external system after a hacker posted a 7.49 million-line dataset online. The exposed fields include names, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers, emails, driver's license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers. The hacker said the API had no web application firewall, rate limiting, certificate checks, or authentication token, and that a CAPTCHA stopped exfiltration at 7.49 million of a claimed 17.44 million lines. The company faces multiple class action lawsuits and is working with outside experts to determine scope.
Surfshark Systems Targeted by Hackers
Surfshark discloses hackers accessed a misconfigured internal test server; no user data or VPN services affected.
Surfshark discovered on August 31 that a threat actor accessed an internal test server exposed to the internet through misconfiguration, obtaining some system binaries and internal configurations. Build-related credentials committed to code history were rotated, and an isolated content optimization VPS was also accessed, though no user data, encryption keys, or browsing activity were exposed. The company contained the system, rotated credentials, and announced an independent security audit.

Veradigm filed an 8-K with the SEC on September 8, 2026, disclosing that attackers used credentials stolen from a third-party vendor to access a specific vendor-facing API and download patient personal data, including Social Security numbers for some individuals. No clinical or medical information was compromised, and Veradigm's internal infrastructure was not breached directly. The company activated incident response, notified law enforcement, and is offering credit monitoring to affected individuals.
Condé Nast Data of 32.8 Million Users Offered for Sale After WIRED Leak
A 32.8 million-record Conde Nast user database is offered for $15,000 on a Russian cybercrime forum, extending December's WIRED leak with millions of unseen records.
A database of 32,815,767 Conde Nast user records went on sale on 7 September 2026 for $15,000 on a Russian-language forum, containing names, addresses, birth dates and phone numbers but no passwords or payment data. Ransomnews verified a 5,000-record sample as genuine account data collected between September and late October 2025, with roughly 30.5 million non-WIRED records never previously published. The listing matches the December 2025 WIRED leak of 2,366,576 records, claimed by an actor called 'Lovely' who said 40+ million records were stolen via IDOR and broken access controls. Conde Nast has not confirmed the breach; exposed data enables credible targeted phishing and fraud.
Poland probes MyDr healthcare software breach potentially affecting 19 million people
Poland investigates a breach at healthcare software firm MyDr potentially exposing data of nearly 19 million people and over 12,000 medical facilities.
Polish healthcare software provider MyDr disclosed a cyberattack that may have exposed personal and medical data belonging to nearly 19 million people and more than 12,000 medical facilities. Hackers obtained unauthorized access to historical data held through April 2024, but the company has found no evidence the data has been published. As a precaution, Poland's e-Health Center is replacing digital certificates used by medical systems to connect to the national P1 e-health platform. The Personal Data Protection Office plans to inspect MyDr and security agencies are working to identify those responsible; no threat actor has been attributed.
Chess.com Leak Exposes 7.3 Million Users — Evidence Points to Scraping
A free 15.5 GB leak exposed 7.3 million Chess.com user records; analysis suggests large-scale scraping via find-friends rather than a server breach.
A 15.5 GB dump containing 7,337,395 Chess.com records appeared on leak forums posted by user V0idix at no cost. Ransomnews confirmed the data is genuine by validating embedded v1 UUID timestamps against registration dates, but found daily-batch collection over nine days and ~7.4% duplicate records, pointing to scraping. The schema includes emails, ratings, subscription tiers and internal Google Ad Manager audience segments not exposed in the public API, and contains no passwords or payment data. Chess.com reported a similar 828,000-record 2023 leak from find-friends abuse and said then that it was not a breach.
Malicious LiteLLM Releases Tied to Trivy Hack May Have Exposed 2,100+ Organizations
Malicious LiteLLM 1.82.7/1.82.8 PyPI releases tied to the Trivy TeamPCP campaign harvested cloud, SSH, and database credentials, potentially exposing 2,500+ organizations.
CloudSEK reported that two malicious LiteLLM releases on PyPI (versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8, live about 40 minutes on March 24) harvested cloud keys, SSH keys, Kubernetes tokens, and database passwords, with captured loot files mapping potential exposure to more than 2,500 organizations including NVIDIA, Cisco, Deloitte, Volkswagen, FedEx, Siemens, and X Corp. The campaign is part of TeamPCP (tracked by Google as UNC6780), linked to the Aqua Security Trivy scanner compromise tracked as CVE-2026-33634 and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on March 26. The payload used a litellm_init.pth file executed at Python interpreter startup and exfiltrated secrets to models.litellm[.]cloud; the FBI's FLASH-20260702-01 advisory urged rotation of CI/CD, publishing, and cloud credentials.
