Brinks Home, a Dallas-based home security firm, has suffered a data breach carried out by the ShinyHunters extortion group, who claim to have stolen over 4.9 million records from the company's Salesforce instance. After Brinks Home refused to pay a ransom, the hackers leaked more than 41GB of files online, which allegedly include personally identifiable information (PII). The company has confirmed the breach but stated that its alarm monitoring and core security systems were not affected, and is working to identify impacted individuals.
