Severity: medium · Patch status: no-fix-needed · Since 2026-06-18
In March 2026, the financial consulting and advisory firm CFGI was the target of a ShinyHunters "pay-or-leak" extortion campaign. The group subsequently publicised data allegedly obtained from CFGI comprising corporate contact information, including 243k unique email addresses, names, phone numbers and physical addresses. Exposed data: email addresses, employers, job titles, names, phone numbers, physical addresses. The breach dates from Mar 6, 2026; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Jun 18, 2026.
What to do
- If you had a CFGI account, change its password and the password of any other account that reused it.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication wherever it is offered.
- Check whether your addresses are in this breach at https://haveibeenpwned.com.
- Expect targeted phishing that quotes the leaked details; verify any unexpected contact out of band.
