Hackers leak facial recognition records tied to millions of Madison Square Garden visitors

2026-06-21  Ian Fleming

The cybercrime group ShinyHunters has published a massive cache of data allegedly stolen from Madison Square Garden Entertainment after the company missed a ransom deadline. According to reports, the leak includes facial recognition records, customer information, internal security assessments, and other sensitive data tied to millions of visitors. While large-scale breaches have become depressingly common, this one feels different. Most data leaks involve passwords, email addresses, or financial information. This breach reportedly includes something far more personal: information connected to how people were monitored and identified in physical spaces.
