Description: Cybersecurity Alert: Hacker Leaks Data of 2.3 Million Wired.com Users, Claims Larger Condé Nast Breach On December 20, 2025, a hacker operating under the alias "Lovely" leaked what they claim is the personal data of over 2.3 million *Wired.com* users on the newly launched hacking forum *Breach Stars*. The leaked dataset includes full names, email addresses, user IDs, display names, account creation timestamps, and in some cases, last session dates though no passwords or payment information were exposed. The data spans accounts created between 2011 and 2022, with some records showing recent activity, suggesting a breach of a live or archived user database. The hacker accused Condé Nast, *Wired*’s parent company, of neglecting security warnings, stating they had spent a month attempting to alert the company before resorting to the leak. In a provocative message, they threatened to release data from over 40 million additional accounts across Condé Nast’s portfolio in the coming weeks. The leaked breakdown includes records from brands such as *GQ* (994K), *Vogue* (1.9M), *The New Yorker* (6.8M), and *Bon Appétit* (2M), among others. An entry labeled "NIL" with 9.5 million accounts remains unidentified, while smaller segments suggest the breach may involve centralized account infrastructure. Prior to the leak, the hacker had contacted journalists, including *DataBreaches.net*, posing as a security researcher before shifting to threats of public exposure. The method of the breach remains undisclosed, though analysis by *Hackread.com* confirms the legitimacy of the leaked *Wired* data. Condé Nast has yet to issue a public statement confirming or denying the incident. Until an official response is provided, the claims and leaked data remain unverified.
Description: Condé Nast notified about 1,100 WIRED subscribers of a breach involving their payment information. They stated that an unauthorized party accessed their vendor’s systems in an attempt to acquire information. The compromised information includes names, postal and email addresses, credit/debit card numbers, security codes, and card expiration dates.

Improper validation of specified type of input in M365 Copilot allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.
Improper access control in Azure Front Door (AFD) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Azure Entra ID Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Moonraker is a Python web server providing API access to Klipper 3D printing firmware. In versions 0.9.3 and below, instances configured with the "ldap" component enabled are vulnerable to LDAP search filter injection techniques via the login endpoint. The 401 error response message can be used to determine whether or not a search was successful, allowing for brute force methods to discover LDAP entries on the server such as user IDs and user attributes. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.0.
Runtipi is a Docker-based, personal homeserver orchestrator that facilitates multiple services on a single server. Versions 3.7.0 and above allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary system commands on the host server by injecting shell metacharacters into backup filenames. The BackupManager fails to sanitize the filenames of uploaded backups. The system persists user-uploaded files directly to the host filesystem using the raw originalname provided in the request. This allows an attacker to stage a file containing shell metacharacters (e.g., $(id).tar.gz) at a predictable path, which is later referenced during the restore process. The successful storage of the file is what allows the subsequent restore command to reference and execute it. This issue has been fixed in version 4.7.0.
