What happened
In December 2025, 2.3M records of WIRED magazine users allegedly obtained from parent company Condé Nast were published online. The most recent data dated back to the previous September and exposed email addresses and display names, as well as, for a small number of users, their name, phone number, date of birth, gender, and geographic location or full physical address. The WIRED data allegedly represents a subset of Condé Nast brands the hacker also claims to have obtained.
