After notorious cybercrime group ShinyHunters breached Panera bread last month, researchers now have a more definite idea of exactly how many people are affected.
When this January breach was first announced, it appeared that 14 million customer records had been stolen. Researchers now believe that the number of affected people is around 5.1 million, which is the number of records that ShinyHunters leaked on the dark web following a failed extortion attempt on Panera.
The leaked information included unique email addresses, names, phone numbers, and addresses, and the group claims to have obtained this information using Microsoft Entra SSO.
