What to do
- Expect more phishing emails that mention this service. Do not click links in them; go to the site directly.
- Be wary of texts and calls that seem to know your details.
- Check your bank and card statements, and ask your bank about a new card if you see anything odd.
- Turn on two-step verification wherever it is offered, and use a password manager.
About this breach
In July 2026, Brinks Home was targeted in a ShinyHunters "pay or leak" extortion campaign. The group subsequently published data they alleged was taken from the company, including 732k unique email addresses and other personal information relating to leads, customers and Brinks staff such as name, phone numbers and physical addresses. The data also included purchases from Brinks along with partial credit card data (last 4 digits, card type and expiry). In Brinks' disclosure notice, they acknowledged the incident and risk of disclosure, and advised that they would notify impacted parties "consistent with applicable law".
