Teespring, a Silicon Valley e-commerce site that lets people create and sell customized T-shirts, sweaters, and other apparel, is having a heck of a month.

Two weeks ago the company apologized to the Polish Auschwitz Memorial Holocaust museum after Internet sleuths discovered a Teespring user was selling “Camp Auschwitz” shirts identical to the now-infamous hoodie sported by a Virginia terrorist who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
Now a prolific hacker group called ShinyHunters has just leaked over 8 million user records from the company, dumping them onto a publicly accessible cybercrime forum called RaidForums. The data, which apparently came from a June Teespring hack, includes email addresses, “usernames, real names, phone numbers, home addresses, and Facebook and OpenID identifiers users used to log into their accounts,” but not email passwords. Gizmodo has independently verified these claims.
