ShinyHunters listed Medtronic on its leak site on 17 April 2026, claiming more than 9 million records; Medtronic confirmed the breach on 24 April alongside an SEC Form 8-K, stating an unauthorized party accessed data in certain corporate IT systems. Potentially affected data included names, addresses, certain medical details, billing and health-insurance information, demographics and Social Security numbers. Medtronic said it found no impact to products, patient safety, manufacturing and distribution or financial-reporting systems. We place it in ShinyHunters' wider Salesforce and SSO extortion campaign.
