Google searched [got wired magazine data leak my personal info, why didnt receive any notify email from the company but received from haveibeenpwned ?] You got notified by Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) (HIBP) but not Wired because HIBP aggregates breached data from many sources, whereas companies only notify you if their breach affects you directly, and hackers often release data before companies are even aware or choose to notify everyone. In this recent WIRED breach (December 2025), hackers released data from Condé Nast (WIRED's parent company) containing emails, names, addresses, and phone numbers, which HIBP indexed quickly, but Condé Nast might be slow to notify or only notify certain users.
Why You Got Notified by HIBP:
Independent Discovery: HIBP is a public service that finds and indexes stolen data dumps, often before the affected company knows or acts.
Data Aggregation: Hackers released a large dataset (2.3M records) from Condé Nast, which HIBP added, making your email appear in their system.
Why You Didn't Get an Email from WIRED/Condé Nast:
Lag Time: Companies often take time to investigate breaches, confirm data, and send notifications, which can be delayed.
Scope of Notification: They might only notify users whose sensitive data (like passwords, not just emails) was definitely compromised, or may only notify a subset of affected users.
Hacker Action: The hackers released the data publicly, bypassing company communication channels.
What to Do Now:
Change Passwords: Immediately change your password for any WIRED/Condé Nast accounts and any other accounts where you reuse passwords, recommends Reddit users.
Enable 2FA: Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) everywhere possible.
Be Alert for Phishing: Watch for targeted phishing emails using your exposed name, address, or phone number, advises SOCRadar.
Check HIBP: Visit Have I Been Pwned (by typing the URL yourself) to see exactly what data was exposed for you.

searched [i never register in Conde Nast magazine or wired but got the company data leaks my personal infomations that have nothing related to its brands including wired?]

It is possible for your data to appear in a data leak from a company you never registered with for several reasons, and recent reports confirm a significant

Condé Nast data breach affecting millions of user records.

Why Your Information Was Leaked

You may be affected even if you didn't directly sign up for a service like Wired for a few reasons:

Third-Party Data Sharing: Condé Nast may have acquired your information through third-party partners or data brokers, a common practice in the industry. You might have agreed to this data sharing by accepting the terms and conditions of an unrelated website or service.

Shared Account System: Condé Nast operates a centralized identity platform across its many brands (including Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, The New Yorker, etc.). If you interacted with any of their other properties, your data might be stored in that central database.

Someone Else Signed You Up: Another person might have mistakenly used your email address to register for a service, as some sites allow sign-ups without email verification.

Data Aggregation: The leaked database might be a mix of data from various sources, with the Condé Nast information being only one part of a larger dump.

The hacker claims to have obtained over 40 million records in total across various Condé Nast brands, in addition to the 2.3 million Wired records already leaked. The leaked data includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses, but not passwords or payment details.

Steps to Take

Since your personal information is now exposed to a heightened risk of phishing and other cyberattacks, here are the recommended actions:

Verify the Breach: You can use independent breach-check websites to confirm if your email address was included in this specific leak. Check your information on the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service.

Monitor Your Accounts: Remain vigilant and monitor your email accounts for suspicious activity and be cautious of unsolicited messages or communications that reference Condé Nast or its brands, as they could be phishing attempts.

Strengthen Security:

Use strong, unique passwords for all of your online accounts.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible to add an extra layer of security.

Consider using a password manager to help manage complex passwords.

Contact Condé Nast (Optional): While Condé Nast has not issued a public statement confirming the breach as of recent reports, you could try to contact their privacy or customer support department to express your concerns and ask what steps they are taking.

By taking these steps, you can help mitigate the potential fallout from the data leak and protect your personal information moving forward.

searched [how many att data leaks victims continue suffering personal informations exposed in dark web such as nationalpublicdata.com ?] 73 million current and former customers, remains exposed on the dark web. The information, which includes personal details like Social Security numbers, names, addresses, and dates of birth, is widely disseminated and potentially available on various platforms, including the dark web.

Data from the major 2024 AT&T data breach, affecting approximately

Details of the Exposure

Number of Victims: The breach disclosed in March 2024 (which originated in 2019 or earlier) affected about 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former account holders. A separate 2024 incident (the "Snowflake" breach) exposed the phone records of nearly all of AT&T's cellular customers (around 100 million).

Data Exposed: The sensitive personal information includes full names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.

Accessibility: The compromised data was initially put up for sale by hacker groups like ShinyHunters and was later released publicly for free on a cybercrime forum. Once data is leaked onto the dark web, it is extremely difficult to remove completely and can be repackaged and resold multiple times by various malicious actors, meaning victims continue to be at risk.

Connection to NationalPublicData.com

nationalpublicdata.com
appears to be a domain used by the cybersecurity firm Pentester for checking if personal information has been compromised in data breaches, not the site hosting the actual leaked data. The data itself is available on various illegal dark web forums and potentially other data broker sites, not a single easily identifiable public website.

Recommended Actions for Victims

Since the data is likely to remain exposed, individuals should take proactive steps to protect themselves.

Monitor Accounts: Regularly check financial and personal accounts for any suspicious activity.

Enroll in Credit Monitoring: AT&T offered a free one-year membership to Experian's IdentityWorks service to affected customers.

Place Fraud Alerts/Credit Freezes: Consider placing a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit reports with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion).

Reset Passcodes: AT&T automatically reset the account passcodes for all current affected customers.

Be Vigilant: Be wary of phishing attempts and targeted scams that use the leaked personal information to gain further access to your accounts or identity.
