Santander recently confirmed a data breach, stating “certain information” from an undisclosed number of customers and employees of Santander Chile, Spain and Uruguay are affected.
The banking giant has disclosed few details on the incident, stating only that “transactional data” and “credentials” are not in the open.
ShinyHunters is also claiming responsibility for a breach at Ticketmaster and says it’s selling data on about 560 million of its customers, including their full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history information.
The group is known for high-profile cyber attacks involving massive companies, including Microsoft, Mashable, AT&T and T-Mobile.
Its activities have placed millions of people’s personal information at risk, prompting significant concern and legal action against the affected companies.
