On June 2, 2026, the hacking group Lapsus$ claimed responsibility for stealing roughly 180 GB of internal data from Ingka Group, the largest franchise operator of IKEA stores worldwide. The group said the material includes source code, technical documents, and other internal files, and offered the data for sale. Ingka Group stated it is actively investigating the claims.
Public reporting indicates the incident follows Lapsus$’s pattern of high-profile data thefts followed by extortion or sale. Available details show that the exact number of individuals whose personal information may have been exposed remains unknown. Ingka has not yet confirmed that customer records were taken, but the volume and nature of the stolen material have raised concerns that employee, supplier, or customer data could be included. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that retail and logistics breaches frequently surface employee emails, internal credentials, and partner contact lists in subsequent leaks.
