Ameriprise Faces Major Data Breach Threat from ShinyHunters Hackers Ameriprise Financial faces a significant operational risk after the ShinyHunters hacker group threatened to release 200GB of stolen data unless a ransom is paid by March 25, 2026. The breach involves Salesforce customer records and SharePoint files, potentially exposing customer identities and financial data. Ameriprise, managing $1.17 trillion in assets, risks identity theft and fraud if the breach is confirmed. The attack reportedly exploits a Salesforce vulnerability, with ShinyHunters known for social engineering tactics. Ameriprise has yet to confirm the breach, which could lead to legal and reputational damage.
