The Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) confirmed to BleepingComputer that it is investigating a security breach after the ShinyHunters extortion group claimed responsibility for the incident.
Kodak is the latest organization to land on the group’s leak site. ShinyHunters claims it stole more than 2.2 million records and threatened to publish the data unless the company responded by June 18.
“Over 2.2 million records containing customer PII and other internal corporate data was compromised. This is a final warning to reach out by 18 June 2026 before we leak along with several annoying (digital) problems that’ll come your way.”
Kodak has now confirmed a data breach, while also saying the incident was limited in scope, contained, and did not pose a threat to its systems or operations.
ShinyHunters has been busy making the same point across multiple victims: modern extortion is often less about ransomware (encryption) and more about access, stealing valuable data, and applying pressure.
