Loblaw Faces Alleged Massive Data Breach as Threat Actor Demands Response A threat actor operating under the handle "igotafeeling" on the DarkWeb Informer forum has claimed to have breached Loblaw, Canada’s largest food and pharmacy retailer, which owns brands like President’s Choice, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart, Real Canadian Superstore, and the PC Optimum loyalty program. The actor alleges possession of over 1.8 billion records, including: - 75.1 million Salesforce customer records (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, loyalty IDs, and health card numbers) - 724.9 million Shoppers Drug Mart records (passwords, tokens, loyalty IDs, payment details, and full credit card numbers with expiry dates) - 129.9 million pharmacy fill requests (prescription numbers and patient IDs) - 120.4 million e-commerce fraud-feed records (payment card BINs, last-four digits, and expiry dates) - 20.2 million Delivery Ops Portal records (orders, deliveries, and postal codes) - 3,014 GitLab projects containing Loblaw’s full source code - 19.3 million Oracle identity records (MFA device details and credentials) - 55.3 million marketing and email records across 673 tables The threat actor has given Loblaw until March 19 to respond, accusing the company of "ghosting" them and dismissing customer and investor concerns. They have also invited media organizations to verify the data’s authenticity. In response, Loblaw issued a March 12 press release, labeling the incident a "low-level data breach" and stating that only "basic customer information" (names, phone numbers, and emails) may have been accessed. The company explicitly denied evidence of financial or credit card data compromise directly contradicting the threat actor’s claims. While the breach remains unverified, the scale of the alleged exposure if confirmed would rank among the largest in Canadian history. The situation mirrors past high-profile breaches (e.g., T-Mobile, Equifax, Capital One), where initial corporate statements downplayed impact before later revelations proved otherwise. Loblaw customers with PC Optimum accounts, Shoppers Drug Mart loyalty cards, or prescription histories may be affected if the claims hold true. The deadline for Loblaw’s response is six days away.

Michelin Confirms Data Breach in Cl0p’s Oracle EBS Cyberattack Campaign Tire manufacturer Michelin has confirmed a data breach linked to the ongoing cybercrime campaign targeting organizations using Oracle’s E-Business Suite (EBS). The Cl0p ransomware and extortion group, believed to be operated by the FIN11 threat actor cluster, exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in Oracle EBS to access sensitive data from over 100 organizations, including Michelin. Michelin acknowledged the incident, stating that while its systems were protected by robust security measures, attackers leveraged an Oracle EBS zero-day flaw to infiltrate its network. The company reported that only a "small, localized volume of data" was compromised, with no sensitive or technical IT information affected. No ransomware was deployed, and global operations remained unaffected. Despite Michelin’s assurance that the breach was contained, Cl0p published over 315GB of allegedly stolen files on its leak site. Metadata analysis suggests the data originated from an Oracle EBS environment. Michelin emphasized its swift response, confirming that corrective actions were taken and the vulnerability has since been patched. This attack follows similar breaches at Madison Square Garden, auto parts supplier LKQ, the University of Phoenix, and Korean Air, all tied to the same Oracle EBS campaign. The incidents highlight the growing threat posed by sophisticated extortion groups exploiting enterprise software vulnerabilities.

Broadcom, a global technology leader valued at hundreds of billions, was among the high-profile victims of Cl0p’s ransomware attack exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle’s E-Business Suite (CVE-2025-61882 and CVE-2025-21884). The cybercriminal group exfiltrated sensitive corporate and customer data, threatening to leak or sell it unless a ransom was paid. The breach compromised critical systems, risking financial records, proprietary business data, and third-party customer information. Cl0p’s extortion tactics included warnings of public disclosure on their blog, torrent leaks, or sales to malicious actors, amplifying reputational and operational risks. Given Broadcom’s role in semiconductor and infrastructure technology, the attack posed supply chain cascading risks, potentially disrupting clients reliant on its products. Oracle issued emergency patches, but the damage—including data theft, potential regulatory fines, and erosion of stakeholder trust—had already occurred. The incident underscores vulnerabilities in enterprise software dependencies, with Broadcom facing long-term financial and strategic repercussions if the stolen data is weaponized.
