Santander customers’ private data put up for sale for $2m by hackers

ShinyHunters stole information including bank and credit card numbers, as well as staff HR details

Hackers are attempting to sell confidential information including the bank and credit card numbers of millions of Santander customers to the highest bidder.

ShinyHunters posted an advert on a hacker forum for the data, which it says also includes staff HR details, with an asking price of $2m (1.6m). It is the same organisation that claims to have hacked Ticketmaster.
