Carhartt Data Breach

What Happened

In August 2026, clothing retailer Carhartt was the target of a ShinyHunters "pay or leak" extortion campaign. The group subsequently published data allegedly obtained from the company including 12.9M unique email addresses, names, phone numbers and physical addresses. The published corpus also contained millions of synthetic records that did not relate to real individuals and were excluded from the breach.
