Food distribution giant Sysco suffers data breach

Source: Have I Been Pwned

In Jun. 2026, food distribution giant Sysco was targeted by a ShinyHunters "pay or leak" extortion campaign. Data was published containing 2.7 million unique email addresses belonging to staff and customers. The data contained largely corporate contact information including names, phone numbers, physical addresses, internal job titles, and customer feedback. This is not the first time Sysco has suffered a major breach. Cybernews reports that In May 2023, a notice posted on the Sysco website and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that the sensitive data of more than 126,000 current and former employees was exposed after an unnamed threat actor gained unauthorized access to its systems. Sysco operates 340+ distribution facilities worldwide, supplying nearly 500 fresh and frozen food products, culinary supplies, and restaurant equipment to roughly 750,000 locations spanning 10 countries.
