What happened?
Around late December 2025, Crunchbase was impacted by a broader voice-phishing campaign targeting corporate systems connected to Google, Microsoft, and Okta. After the company declined to pay the ransom demand, the threat group ShinyHunters released approximately 400 MB of stolen data on January 23, 2026. Crunchbase later confirmed that the information had been taken from its internal network and included personal data, contracts, and other company records. Up to 2 million records were affected by this breach.
