Summary
Moody Bible Institute (MBI), a Christian college, suffered a data breach by the ShinyHunters extortion group, exposing data on over 2.3 million people. The attack was disclosed in June, and the stolen data — including names, addresses, and dates of birth — was later leaked online. Have I Been Pwned has added the breach to its notification database. MBI is one of many victims of ShinyHunters' pay-or-leak attacks in 2026, and it remains unclear whether the institute negotiated with the attackers.
