About this breach

In March 2026, hackers claimed they had obtained data from the gig economy platform Paidwork which they then listed for sale. Almost 11GB of data allegedly obtained from the platform was subsequently posted publicly in July and contained over 23M unique email addresses. The breach also included a broad range of other data relating to the operation of the platform including user profile data, banking information, payout history for workers and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes.
