THE post, published on 13 March 2026, explains that Telus Digital confirmed unauthorized access to a limited number of systems, with the incident described as a breach rather than a full disruption to services. The threat actor behind the incident claimed to have stolen nearly 1 petabyte of data and demanded tens of millions of dollars in extortion.
Telus Digital said it had contained the activity, engaged forensic specialists, involved law enforcement, and continued operating without evidence of service disruption. The article notes that the group claiming responsibility has been identified as ShinyHunters, a claim echoed by a BleepingComputer report, with those claims described as such unless independently verified.
It also reports that the attackers said they initially used Google Cloud Platform credentials found in the Salesloft Drift breach to move deeper into Telus systems, again framed as claims. Finally, the piece highlights how Telus Digital’role as a service provider elevates vendor risk, underscoring the value of vendor security and third‑party monitoring, including SOCRadar’s Supply Chain Intelligence tools.
