    • ShinyHunters breached Panera Bread, stealing 14 million records of customer data
    • Actual impact closer to 5.1 million users, with unique emails, names, phone numbers, and addresses exposed
    • Attack tied to Microsoft Entra SSO compromise, part of broader vishing campaign targeting Okta, Microsoft, and Google SSO

    The recent cyberattack against Panera Bread, which saw sensitive customer data stolen, is now thought to have affected many more users than first thought

    When ShinyHunters broke into Panera Bread, they stole 14 million customer records, not data on 14 million customers – but Have I Been Pwned? researchers now believe the number of people actually affected is closer to 5.1 million, after analyzing the type of information leaked on the dark web.

    “In January 2026, Panera Bread suffered a data breach that exposed 14M records,” Have I Been Pwned? explained. “After an attempted extortion failed, the attackers published the data publicly, which included 5.1M unique email addresses along with associated account information such as names, phone numbers and physical addresses.”

    The culprits behind the attack are the infamous ransomware group ShinyHunters, which added Panera Bread to its data leak site, claiming to have grabbed 760MB of compressed data that included people’s names, addresses, postal addresses and phone numbers.

    shinyHunters said they broke into Panera via Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO). If that is true, then this incident is likely tied to Okta’s warning from recent times, when the company said it saw cybercriminals targeting Okta, Microsoft, and Google SSO codes through a sophisticated voice phishing campaign.

    Panera Bread has also officially confirmed falling prey to the attackers.

    ShinyHunters is one of the most active ransomware groups at this time, and one of the first which has stopped using an encryptor entirely. Instead of encrypting victim systems, it simply exfiltrates data and demands payment for them. It is easier and cheaper to execute yet pays equally well.
