Nissan disclosed a data breach exposing current and former employees' personal and financial information after attackers exploited an Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day linked to ShinyHunters. The incident is part of a broader campaign first reported on June 10-11, 2026 that hit over 100 organizations, prompting Nissan to offer monitoring services and tighten payroll security.
Oracle informed Nissan that threat actors obtained personnel records from hundreds of companies and that Nissan was specifically targeted.
The group is known for targeting Salesforce, Snowflake, third-party integration partners, and other cloud environments.
This breach underscores the persistent risk of unpatched enterprise HR systems and the speed with which zero-days in widely used platforms like PeopleSoft can cascade across sectors.
