What Happened
On June 11, 2026, threat actor ShinyHunters publicly claimed a breach of Nexstar Media Group / nexstar.tv, saying it had compromised over 1 million Salesforce records plus other internal corporate data that may have included personally identifiable information (PII). The company had not publicly confirmed the incident at the time of the reports, and the exact scope of the exposed data remained unverified, but the claimed impact centered on Salesforce records, employee and corporate information, and potentially sensitive customer or affiliate data.
