Wired.com Breach

In late December 2025, a significant dataset belonging to Wired.com subscribers was leaked on the cybercrime forum Breach Stars by a threat actor operating under the alias "Lovely." The breach exposes over 2.3 million user records. The attacker claims this release is merely a "sample" from a larger compromise of the Condé Nast centralized identity platform, threatening the future release of over 40 million records from sister publications like Vogue, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair.
