Full timeline through 2026
2026 — forum claim of ~4.9M records sale (Spain users, unverified)
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. UNVERIFIED ACTOR CLAIM — not company-confirmed. On June 11, 2026 Cybernews reported that a threat actor advertised roughly 4.9 million Wise customer records for sale on an underground forum, primarily tied to Spanish users. Cybernews researchers reviewed 17 sample records attached to the listing and found fields including names, dates of birth, gender, contact details, and Spanish NIF numbers; timestamps in samples ranged from late 2025 into early 2026, suggesting recent exfiltration rather than repackaged old dump Exposed categories include Alleged names, dates of birth, gender, contact details, and Spanish NIF (tax/ID numbers) per Cybernews sample review of forum listing. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the wise-spain-forum 2026 record and canonical BreachHistory entry.
