The multinational convenience store chain, founded in 1927, currently operates over 86,000 stores globally and holds multiple loyalty programs for its customers. On May 1, 7-Eleven sent notification letters to affected customers confirming attackers accessed certain systems used to store franchisee documents in early April. Initially, 7-Eleven did not officially connect the incident to any specific group, but ShinyHunters later claimed responsibility and released stolen data after the company reportedly refused to pay a ransom. Have I Been Pwned analysis revealed that the stolen data included names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses of 185,300 people. This breach adds to ShinyHunters&#8217; list of high-profile targets, which includes various big-name companies following a similar pattern of extortion and data leaks if ransoms aren&#8217;t paid.<\/p>\n<p>Key Points:<br \/>\n   &#8211; ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach of 7-Eleven, affecting over 183,000 people.<br \/>\n   &#8211; Stolen data included personal information such as names, physical addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, and email addresses.<br \/>\n   &#8211; ShinyHunters has targeted several large corporations, highlighting persistent issues in cybersecurity.<br \/>\n   &#8211; The incident is one of many recent breaches by ShinyHunters, suggesting significant lapses in corporate information security measures.<br \/>\n   &#8211; Law enforcement recommends against paying ransoms due to the high risk of future extortion attempts or data leaks.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7-Eleven data breach exposes personal information of 185,000 people https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/security\/7-eleven-data-breach-exposes-personal-information-of-185-000-people\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-26 03:01:12 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":231569,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bleepstatic.com\/content\/hl-images\/2026\/05\/19\/7-Eleven.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[30,24],"class_list":["post-231568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-breach","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231568"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231568"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":231570,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231568\/revisions\/231570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
