ManoMano Customer Data Exposed via Third-Party Customer Service Provider Breach
European DIY e-commerce platform ManoMano disclosed a large-scale data breach after threat actors compromised a third-party customer service provider (subcontractor), leading to the unauthorized extraction of customer data tied to accounts and support interactions. The incident was identified in January 2026 and affects roughly 38 million customers across ManoMano’s European markets; the company reported no evidence that its internal systems were altered and stated that passwords were not accessed.
Reportedly exposed data varies by customer but includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and customer service communications (including support tickets and potentially attachments). A threat actor using the alias “Indra” claimed responsibility on a hacker forum and alleged possession of approximately 37.8 million user records, a figure broadly consistent with ManoMano’s notification, though the claim has not been independently verified. ManoMano said it blocked the compromised account, revoked the subcontractor’s access, and implemented enhanced access controls while continuing its investigation.
