Zoosk (2020)

CASE CONTEXT

This record summarizes the public breach profile for Zoosk (2020): when it happened, when it surfaced publicly, the estimated exposure, and whether Have I Been Pwned currently marks it as verified. It is a plain-English view for quick risk review and source attribution. It keeps the source data visible, separates the public incident record from recovery advice, and collects nothing about you.

RISK REVIEW

The right response depends on what was exposed. The reported data classes here are Dates of birth, Drinking habits, Education levels, Email addresses, Ethnicities, Family structure, Genders, Geographic locations, Income levels, Names, Nicknames, Physical attributes, Political views, Relationship statuses, Religions, Sexual orientations, Smoking habits: email addresses and usernames can fuel phishing or account enumeration, profile data helps with impersonation, and financial or government identifiers warrant a closer fraud review. Have I Been Pwned currently marks this breach as verified, which means the service has reviewed the incident record against its source standards.

This public record does not list passwords among the exposed data classes. It can still support phishing, account recovery abuse, or identity profiling when combined with other breach records. HIBP marks this breach as sensitive. TRACED keeps the public facts readable while avoiding collection of visitor identifiers, passwords, or account lookups tied to a person. For personal cleanup, start with password reuse, two-factor settings, and recovery-email security on the affected service. For research, treat this file as a source pointer and confirm exact impact against the original HIBP entry. The counts here describe the public record, not any one account.
