When the demand was not met, the group published data allegedly obtained from the company. ## What was exposed Reported by Have I Been Pwned, the published data contained roughly 373,000 unique email addresses drawn from records relating to customers, sales leads, and CyrusOne employees. The exposed information largely consisted of corporate contact details, including names, physical addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and employer information. Support tickets and other operational records were also included. ## Who is affected According to Have I Been Pwned, those affected include CyrusOne customers, prospective sales contacts, and company employees whose information appeared in the leaked records. ## What to do now If you have ever interacted with CyrusOne as a customer, sales contact, or employee, assume your corporate contact details may be exposed. Be alert to targeted phishing emails or phone calls that use your name, employer, or job title to appear legitimate. Consider using a unique email address for business communications going forward, and report any suspicious contact to your IT or security team. ## Sources - [CyrusOne breach record](https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#CyrusOne): HIBP; primary source; publisher: haveibeenpwned.com; confidence: 90/100; retrieved: 2026-10-08.
