On 16 October 2026, the community website Vélogrimpe told its users that a development error had made contributors' e-mail addresses visible in the source code of some of its pages. The team considers it likely that automated bots collected these addresses. The number of exposed addresses has not been stated. No intrusion or password compromise is reported, and the error has been fixed.
A collected e-mail address can be used to send unsolicited messages or phishing attempts.

Exposed data
- Email address
You are only affected if you had an account or an order with this organisation.
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.
