Security News > 2020 > May > Chatbooks Confirms Breach After ‘Shiny Hunters’ Sell Data

Photo-print service Chatbooks has confirmed a data breach, a week after cybercriminals listed a database containing customer email addresses, passwords and more for sale on an underground forum.

"We are currently working with a digital security and forensics firm to assess the extent of this data security breach," said Quigley in a data breach notice this week.

On May 7, ZeroFox researchers reported that the Shiny Hunters hacking group was selling the Chatbooks customer database on underground forums, along with records from meal kit delivery service HomeChef and Chronicle.com.

Researchers with ZeroFox noted that the Shiny Hunters hacking group appears to be taking a page out of the book of GnosticPlayers, the breach data broker who stole billions of records from dozens of companies between 2018 and 2019 and sold them online.

"Due to the verification of the Tokopedia breach by multiple researchers and the company itself, ZeroFOX Alpha Team has high confidence that these new breaches are legitimate, and will most likely be available on other breach marketplaces at lower prices in the near future," said researchers.
