Major Data Breaches & Hacking News in June 2025
June 26, 2025
Cyberattacks are happening more often, and June 2025 brought some of the worst yet. The biggest news? A staggering 16 billion records, including passwords, from major platforms such as Google, Apple, and Facebook were leaked in online datasets, most likely breaching individuals’ devices with malicious software.
This shows a scary trend: Hackers are increasingly targeting individuals directly, not just going after companies. At the same time, major businesses like AT&T, LexisNexis, Coinbase, and the Texas Department of Transportation have also been hit, exposing the private data of millions. To stay safe, you need to protect not just your online accounts, but the devices you use every day.
Google, Apple, and Facebook
Organization Description: Google, Apple, and Facebook are major technology companies.
Breach Size: 16 million records
Data Exposed: In what is thought to be the largest data leak in history, 16 billion login credentials, including passwords, have been exposed for platforms including Google, Apple, and Facebook. Information was stolen through multiple events over time — most likely through malicious software used on individuals’ devices — and then compiled into online datasets. In total, there have been 30 exposed datasets that each contain login information, resulting in 16 billion compromised credentials and giving criminals access to accounts people use each day.
AT&T
Organization Description: AT&T is a large U.S. company that provides phone, internet, and wireless services.
Breach Size: 86 million records
Data Exposed: A collection of AT&T customer data totaling 86 million records has resurfaced for sale on the dark web. Originally posted to a Russian-language cybercrime forum in May and reappearing in June, the data appears to be repackaged from previous breaches in 2021 and March 2024. The records are decrypted and include 44 million plaintext Social Security numbers, along with names, birthdates, addresses, and contact details.
LexisNexis Risk Solutions
Description: LexisNexis Risk Solutions is a global data and analytics company that provides risk and fraud prevention solutions to businesses and government agencies.
Breach Size: 364,333 people
Data Exposed: LexisNexis Risk Solutions confirmed that cybercriminals accessed its GitHub repository (a third-party platform used for software development), exposing personal data. The stolen information varied by person but generally included names, birthdates, phone numbers, mailing and email addresses, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers.
Coinbase
Organization Description: Coinbase is primarily a cryptocurrency exchange and financial technology company.
Breach Size: 69,461 people
Data Exposed: Coinbase confirmed a data breach that includes names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, along with masked Social Security details (last four digits), partially redacted bank account numbers, images of driver’s licenses and passports, and account snapshots of balances and transaction histories.
Texas Department of Transportation
Organization Description: Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is a government agency responsible for planning, building, operating, and maintaining the state's transportation system.
Breach Size: 300,000 records
Data Exposed: Attackers exploited a compromised account to download approximately 300,000 crash reports from TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System. The stolen data included full names, mailing addresses, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, car insurance policy numbers, and details about vehicles and crash circumstances.
Hacking & Phishing News
Data Repackaging
Data repackaging is when cybercriminals take information from old data breaches — like names, email addresses, or phone numbers — and combine it with new stolen data to build a more complete picture of a person’s identity. This new version of the data is often organized, updated, and made easier to use for scams or identity theft. The goal is to increase the value of stolen information by filling in the gaps or correcting outdated details, making it more useful for selling on the dark web or launching targeted attacks.
Password Scraping
Password scraping is when hackers use hidden software (malware) on your device to secretly collect your usernames and passwords. It happens while you’re logging into websites or apps, and you usually don’t know that it’s happening. In some cases, hackers also gather passwords from leaked databases or phishing scams. The stolen passwords are then sold or used to break into your accounts — especially if you reuse the same password across different sites.
GET PROTECTED
Data repackaging and password scraping are key tactics behind the June 2025 data breaches. Implementing malware that scraped passwords is the likely cause of the 16 billion records that were leaked directly from users’ devices — targeting individuals instead of companies. Meanwhile, the AT&T breach repackaged data to combine new information with old data breach information, creating detailed identity profiles for scams and fraud. Together, these methods show how personal and powerful modern cyberattacks have become.
