Multiple outlets report that a cyberattack involving 7-Eleven has exposed personal information belonging to about 185,000 people. The incident is linked to the extortion group ShinyHunters, which allegedly stole the data after compromising 7-Eleven systems. According to Have I Been Pwned, the breached material affects roughly 183,000 to 185,000 individuals.
The types of data described across reports include names, email addresses, physical (postal) addresses, dates of birth, and phone numbers. TechCrunch also reports that a state government listing indicates the breach includes Social Security numbers in at least some records. Help Net Security notes that a small number of records contain additional data fields beyond the main categories.
Fox News similarly states that personal details such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and phone numbers may be involved, based on franchisee-related records. 7-Eleven is a convenience store chain with thousands of locations worldwide, and the reported information exposure stems from a breach disclosed in connection with the April 2026 timeframe.
