About This Breach
In April 2026, the online learning platform Udemy was affected by a data breach as part of the ShinyHunters extortion campaign targeting Salesforce environments. The breach exposed approximately 1.4 million records (around 1.4 million unique email addresses), including email addresses, first and last names, phone numbers, job titles, employer and company information and physical mailing addresses belonging to Udemy business customers, instructors and enterprise learners. The data was exported from the Udemy Salesforce CRM (customer and contact objects) along with internal learning and billing extracts. No passwords were included. The records were published on the ShinyHunters data leak site and distributed via Telegram after Udemy did not pay the ransom.
