Addi Data Breach Exposes 34 Million Email Addresses, Credit-Related Information
Earlier this month, financial platform Addi was identified as a victim of the ShinyHunters hacking group, with a dataset containing 34 million email addresses leaked online. The exposed data also included credit-related details, raising concerns over potential identity theft and fraud risks for affected users.
According to analysis, 29% of the compromised emails were already linked to LinkedIn accounts, suggesting overlap with professional networks. The breach highlights the growing threat of cybercriminals targeting financial services for sensitive personal and financial data.
ShinyHunters, a notorious hacking collective known for large-scale data leaks, has been linked to multiple high-profile breaches in recent years.
