Thermomix Forum Data Breach Exposes Millions of User Records

A security flaw in an external service provider allowed unauthorized access to personal data from 3.3 million users of Vorwerk's recipe-sharing platform.

• The breach affected users of Rezeptwelt.de and related Thermomix recipe forums in multiple countries, including Germany, France, and Australia.
• Compromised data includes names, email addresses, birthdates, and physical addresses, but passwords and financial information were not accessed.
• Vorwerk confirmed the breach occurred between January 30 and February 3, 2025, due to a vulnerability in an external service provider's server.
• Screenshots indicate the stolen data is being offered for sale on a Darknet forum, with over one million German users reportedly affected.
• Vorwerk has resolved the issue, is notifying affected users, and advises caution against phishing attempts or suspicious emails.
