A significant data breach at 7-Eleven has compromised the personal information of over 185,000 individuals, including names, dates of birth, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. The attack, claimed by the ShinyHunters group, also reportedly included Social Security numbers and driver's licenses for some affected parties.
