Baker Distributing: Have I Been Pwned’s Post

Baker Distributing Suffers Data Breach, 103K Email Addresses Exposed

Baker Distributing, a U.S.-based distribution company, has fallen victim to a data breach, with 103,000 unique email addresses allegedly leaked on the ShinyHunters "pay or leak" site. The exposed data primarily includes corporate contact information, such as names, physical addresses, and phone numbers.

Approximately 50% of the compromised emails were already publicly available on LinkedIn, suggesting a mix of internal and external corporate contacts. The breach was first reported by Have I Been Pwned, a data breach notification service, which flagged the incident for affected individuals.

The leak appears tied to ShinyHunters, a notorious cybercriminal group known for extorting companies by threatening to release stolen data unless a ransom is paid. The full scope of the breach and its potential impact on Baker Distributing’s operations remain unclear. No official statement from the company has been released at this time.
