A notorious group of hackers has come forward claiming responsibility for a major data breach at Santander, one of the world’s largest banks. The group, known as ShinyHunters, has announced that personal information from 30 million Santander customers is now up for sale. They are offering to sell the data to a single bidder for a staggering $2 million.

Hackread, a cyber threat news outlet, claims to have seen the data and confirms that it includes 30 million customer records, 28 million credit card numbers, 6 million account numbers and balances, as well as employee lists and citizenship information.

Santander has recently acknowledged the breach but has provided limited details. They have stated that “certain information” from an undisclosed number of customers and employees from Santander Chile, Spain, and Uruguay has been affected. However, the bank has assured customers that their transactional data and credentials have not been compromised.

In addition to the Santander breach, ShinyHunters is also claiming responsibility for a breach at Ticketmaster. They are advertising data on approximately 560 million Ticketmaster customers, including their full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history information.

This hacker group has gained notoriety for launching high-profile cyber attacks against major companies such as Microsoft, Mashable, AT&T, and T-Mobile. As a result, millions of individuals have had their personal information put at risk, leading to significant concern and legal action against the affected companies.
