Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is probing Carnival Corporation over a recent data breach that led to the personal information of an estimated 6 million individuals getting stolen, including more than 800,000 Texas citizens.
“On April 14, 2026, Carnival’s information technology security team identified unauthorized activity involving an employee account. Carnival determined that social-engineering techniques were used to deceive an employee and gain access to the company’s systems. As a result, the unauthorized actor obtained access to consumers’ personal information,” Paxton’s office said in a June 22 statement.
