Welp, Wired got hacked—and 2.4 million accounts are affected

Just before the new year, an alert went out from Have I Been Pwned, a security website that monitors data breaches: A hacker surfaced with information taken from Wired accounts, reportedly stolen through the publication’s parent company, Condé Nast. The number of subscribers hit? 2.4 million.

The lost details included email addresses and display names, as well as actual names, phone numbers, date of birth, gender, and physical addresses (or geographic location) for a smaller subset of users.
