Alcon: a data breach
In August 2026, the Alcon eye care company was named in a ShinyHunters "pay or leak" extortion campaign . The group subsequently published data allegedly sourced from Alcon containing 218k unique email addresses along with other largely corporate B2B contact fields, including name, phone number and physical address.
