A threat actor has claimed a data breach of New Zealand digital booking app Tuipoint.
Tuipoint is a smart queuing and digital booking service for barbers, based in the North Island of New Zealand. It currently operates in barber shops in both New Zealand and the UK.
In a post to a popular hacking forum, a threat actor by the name of “Blinkers” claimed a breach of Tuipoint, claiming they have a full database containing the user data of 414,205 users.
Within the listing, Blinkers posted a sample from the allegedly exfiltrated database, which contains the names, email addresses, phone numbers and more of what appear to be Tuipoint users.
Additionally, some of the listings are dated as recently as 5 March 2025.
Cyber Daily has investigated a number of the emails and determined that while several have been exposed in previous breaches, there are a number of emails unique to this breach.
Cyber Daily has reached out to Tuipoint for more information.
Late last year, push-to-talk walkie-talkie app Zello requested that its users reset their passwords following a security incident.
Zello, which is used by 140 million users, including first responders, transport workers, hospitality staff and more, pushed a notice over the last two weeks, starting 15 November, requesting that users reset passwords.
“Zello Security Notice – As a precaution, we are asking that you reset your Zello app password for any account created before November 2nd, 2024,” said the notice.
“We also recommend that you change your passwords for any other online services where you may have used the same password.”
Customers have otherwise not received any news as to why the passwords need to be reset. However, the specific date of before 2 November and the password reset suggests that a security incident may have resulted in threat actors gaining access to passwords in what could be a data breach, ransomware attack, or credential stuffing attack.
