Bumble and Match Group were hit by cyberattacks on January 27-28, 2026, but they said no significant data breach was witnessed
- Bumble spokesperson said hacker made “a brief unauthorized access to a small portion of our network”, Bloomberg reported.
- Match Group also confirmed that the breach affected a “limited amount of user data".
- ShinyHunters, the group behind the cyberattack said it stole over 10 million of Match Group records, which include user IDs, transaction details, IP addresses with approximate locations, dating profile elements, phone numbers e.t.c.
Assessment
Based on comments from Bumble and Match Group management, it appears the incident is manageable. However, if their assessment is inaccurate, it may lead to class action lawsuits.
I wonder if the attack is related to some reports of Bumble app outage yesterday and today. Maybe Bumble initiated some protocols which is causing outages (Bumble App Outage Report (Google Sheets)).
