Nexstar Data Breach?: Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of reports of a possible Nexstar data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who believe their information may have been put at risk, including current and former Nexstar employees and customers.
Reports Emerge of a Possible Nexstar Media Group Security Incident
Emerging reports indicate that television and media giant Nexstar Media Group, which owns and operates 265 television stations nationwide, may have suffered a data breach at the hands of threat actor ShinyHunters.
A June 11, 2026 post on Ransomware.live indicates that ShinyHunters, reportedly responsible for the 2026 cyberattacks on DentaQuest, ADT, and Instructure, claims to have compromised over 1 million files in the potential Nexstar Media Group data breach, including Salesforce records and other corporate data that may contain sensitive personal information.
At the time this post was made, the suspected Nexstar data breach had not been confirmed by the company.
What You Can Do
If you're affiliated with Nexstar and suspect your information could have been put at risk, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Nexstar to ensure they take proper steps to protect the information they were entrusted with.
