Bumble and Match Group ShinyHunters Vishing Breach
Primary Source βIncident Details
On January 29, 2026, ShinyHunters posted data allegedly stolen from Bumble (dating app) and Match Group (parent of Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid) on a dark web leak site. ShinyHunters claimed to have stolen 10 million records across the dating apps. At Bumble, attackers used vishing to compromise a contractor account and gained brief access to internal Slack and Google Drive systems, exfiltrating approximately 30 GB of corporate files (internal documents, restricted/confidential files). Bumble confirmed member data, the app itself, and user direct messages were not exposed. Match Group investigated a related incident. Bumble’s InfoSec team detected and terminated unauthorized access quickly; external forensic investigators were engaged and law enforcement notified. A class action lawsuit was filed in Texas.
