Executive Summary
In October 2025, IKEA data was stolen as part of the ShinyHunters / Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters campaign against Salesforce customers. The actors released a sample on 3 October 2025 and the exposed set covered about 14.8 million unique email addresses (some reporting also references internal source code). The consumer data indexed centers on email addresses.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure enables phishing, delivery fraud, account abuse, and household targeting. Home-furnishing purchase data can also reveal residence patterns and life-stage signals.
Breach Impact
The large email set supports spam and phishing targeting; inclusion in the wider Salesforce campaign means the same actor holds comparable data on many other brands.
