In September 2025, WIRED suffered a data breach. 2.4 million accounts were affected. The exposed data includes dates of birth, account identifiers, email addresses, postal addresses, names and phone numbers.

| Fact | Value |

| Incident dated | September 8, 2025 |
| Accounts affected | 2.4M |
| Sector | Media and leisure |

| Status | Confirmed |

## Exposed data

- Date of birth
- Customer ID
- Email address
- Postal address
- Full name
- Phone number

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
