KXAN – A class action lawsuit has been filed against Bumble after a January 29 cyberattack allegedly exposed users’ personal data. The complaint claims hackers accessed sensitive information – including names, contact details, Social Security numbers, and chat history – due to inadequate security protections, reportedly via a phishing attack linked to the group ShinyHunters. The plaintiff says affected users suffered time loss, anxiety, and risk of identity theft. The lawsuit seeks damages, stronger security measures, and deletion of compromised data, though Bumble’s arbitration clause may move the case out of court.
