Paidwork: a data breach
In March 2026, hackers claimed they had obtained data from the gig economy platform Paidwork which they then listed for sale . Almost 11GB of data allegedly obtained from the platform was subsequently posted publicly in July and contained over 23M unique email addresses. The breach also included a broad range of other data relating to the operation of the platform including user profile data, banking information, payout history for workers and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes.
