In late 2025, the media world was hit by a significant data exfiltration. Currently, the WIRED subscriber database has been leaked for free, exposing millions of records. However, the threat actor indicates that this is merely the beginning.
Hudson Rock researchers have authenticated the 2.3 million record WIRED leak using infostealer infection data. More alarmingly, the hacker claims that a much larger database consisting of 40,000,000 lines related to Condé Nast will be released soon. This impending leak is expected to impact major publications including Vogue, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair.
