What happened

In December 2025, the dating website "for a Europid vision" WhiteDate suffered a data breach that was subsequently leaked online, initially exposing 6.1k unique email addresses. The leaked data included extensive personal information such as physical appearance, income, education and IQ. A more comprehensive dataset was later provided to HIBP, containing usernames, IP addresses, private messages, phpBB password hashes and a total of 20k unique email addresses.

What was exposed

  • Ages: Your age in years at the time the record was created, stored as a number rather than a full birth date. Many sites collect it at signup for age verification or marketing.
  • Astrological signs: The zodiac sign stored against your profile, usually on a dating or social app that shows it on your public page. It is derived from your birth date.
  • Bios: The free text about me section you wrote for a profile on a dating app, forum, social network, gaming platform or professional site.
  • Device information: Technical details an app or website recorded about your device: make and model, operating system version, screen size, language, carrier, and sometimes the device name or advertising ID.
  • Education levels: Your highest qualification, such as high school, a trade certificate, a bachelor's degree or a postgraduate degree, collected by job sites, surveys, dating apps and marketing databases.
  • Email addresses: The email address you used to register or log in. It is the most common field in breaches because it doubles as your username on most sites.
  • Family structure: Information about your household, such as the number and ages of children, whether you are a single parent, who lives with you and whether you care for someone, collected by insurers, schools, government services, surveys and marketing databases.
  • Forum posts: Posts, threads, replies and sometimes private messages you wrote on an online forum or community board, stored with your username, email address, IP address and posting dates.
  • Genders: The gender or sex recorded on your profile, usually picked from a list at signup, sometimes with a title such as Mr or Ms or a gender identity option beyond male and female.
  • Geographic locations: A general location recorded on your account, such as a country, state, city, postcode or region, either typed in by you or estimated from your IP address.
  • Income levels: An estimated or self-reported household or personal income band, collected by surveys, lenders, retailers, dating apps and marketing databases.
  • IP addresses: The network addresses your devices used when you signed up, logged in or posted, recorded by almost every website in its access logs.
