Medela started the HIBP coverage in 280C and is only being put here as a reference so people can see that we’ve caught up as of October 30, 2026. This Who’s been pwned page is always getting updated, and there may be entries on it since the 9 we’ve listed plus the marker of where we last had HIBP. We count 10 entries since Medela’s entry. The good news is that we only have one sensitive breach since we last checked, the rest seem to be your typical breach or actor activity where known. There are several entries where we have specific months. 5 were Shiny Hunters specific known activity, two were marked to show you when the breach took place and when HIBP was notified and posted the info.
