A database reportedly containing 32.8 million Condé Nast user records is being offered for sale on a Russian-language cybercrime forum for about $15,000, according to the Security Affairs piece summarising Ransomnews’ review. The seller claims the full dataset behind the December 2025 WIRED leak is included, and a 5,000-record sample reviewed by Ransomnews appears consistent with genuine Condé Nast account data allegedly collected from September to late October 2025. Condé Nast itself has not publicly confirmed a breach or commented on the new sale listing.

The dataset purportedly covers users across Condé Nast’s publications, including Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Glamour, WIRED and Vanity Fair. The sample reportedly contains 32,815,767 unique email addresses, with varying other fields such as names, postal addresses, gender, dates of birth and some phone numbers, but explicitly no passwords, password hashes, usernames or payment-card data.

Ransomnews’ analysis notes field-completion rates and demographic distributions that suggest a broad collection across multiple titles, though the data does not prove the seller’s provenance. While the article stresses that Condé Nast has not confirmed the breach, it warns that such data could enable targeted phishing, fraud, or correlation with other leaked datasets, and advises readers to be cautious with unexpected communications claiming subscription issues.
