2026 Bumble — forum claim of 32M user records (June 1; researchers skeptical)
Data compromised
Alleged emails, bcrypt hashes, names, DOB, employment, location, and political-belief fields per forum marketing
Technical writeup
On June 1, 2026, Cybernews reported criminal-forum marketing of roughly 32 million alleged Bumble user records—including emails, bcrypt password hashes, names, dates of birth, employment, location, and political-belief fields—while noting researcher skepticism due to small samples, a suspicious seller profile, and low price. This row is distinct from Bumble’s January 2026 ShinyHunters contractor-phishing disclosure (bumble2026), which the company said did not expose member databases. Bumble had not confirmed the June forum listing at catalog time.
Root cause
Criminal forum database-sale claim (unverified; high skepticism in trade press)
