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.

Meta AI builds detailed profiles of children from years of family posts

Meta AI suggested questions about a child and assembled detailed family profiles from years of Facebook posts, including a photo deleted years ago.

A mother reported that Meta AI on Facebook suggested the question 'Who is the child passenger?' and then aggregated her children's names, birth dates, videos, and a photo she had deleted years ago. The assistant also pieced together old posts to pinpoint her home location when prompted with 'Where does Kalie Robins live?'. Meta admitted the prompt 'never should have' appeared and said it fixed the suggestion issue, while noting the data came from posts the asker could already access. The article situates this among prior Meta AI privacy failures, including publicly shared chats and a bug exposing private conversations via guessable IDs.
