Match Group, the parent company of several widely used dating platforms including Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Match.com and Meetic, has acknowledged it suffered a cybersecurity incident after criminals claimed to possess internal data tied to multiple services.
The confirmation followed the release of compressed files allegedly consisting of millions of records linked to dating apps.
According to Match Group, the intrusion resulted in the exposure of a limited amount of user data. The company says it moved quickly to shut down the unauthorized access once the incident was identified and launched an investigation with the help of external cybersecurity specialists.
What information was accessed
While attackers claimed the stolen files included user-related information and internal documents, Match Group said it has currently no evidence that login credentials, financial details or private messages were accessed. The company emphasized that the scope of the breach remains contained.
