What Happened

In April 2026, the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed they had breached Amtrak. The group typically compromises organisations' Salesforce instances before demanding a ransom and later, if not paid, dumping the data publicly. The exposed data contained over 2M unique email addresses along with names, physical addresses and customer support records.

Impact

  • Affected accounts: 2.1M
  • Data exposed: Email addresses, Names, Physical addresses, Support tickets
  • Severity: CRITICAL
  • Source: [haveibeenpwned](https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#Amtrak)

    • What You Should Do

    If you have an account with Amtrak, take these steps immediately:

  • **Change your password** — Use a unique, strong password (16+ chars with mixed case, numbers, symbols)
  • **Enable 2FA** — Turn on two-factor authentication if available
  • **Check your email** — Search for breach notifications from Amtrak
  • **Monitor your accounts** — Watch for unauthorized access on any service where you reused the same password
  • **Scan your site** — If you run a website, [run a free ScanMyVibe scan](https://scanmyvibe.co/scan) to check if your own security headers and configurations protect against common attack vectors

    • Is Your Website Secure?

    Data breaches often exploit weak security configurations — missing Content-Security-Policy headers, misconfigured CORS, exposed API keys. These are exactly the issues ScanMyVibe detects in under 30 seconds.
