WIRED: a data breach
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.
