ManoMano Data Breach Exposes 38 Million Customers' Info via Third-Party Vendor
  • ManoMano, the French online marketplace for DIY and home improvement, disclosed a data breach affecting up to about 38 million customers linked to a third-party Zendesk support service provider in January 2026, exposing full names, email addresses, phone numbers, and customer service communications.

  • ManoMano confirmed that no account passwords were accessed and data on its own servers was not tampered with, according to the company and independent reporting.

  • The breach involved a third-party subcontractor rather than ManoMano’s own systems, and the compromised data included customer information.

  • Regulators and authorities, including France’s CNIL and ANSSI, were notified, and affected customers received guidance to stay vigilant against phishing and social engineering.

  • ManoMano quickly acted to secure its environment by disabling the subcontractor’s access, revoking data access, and tightening access controls and monitoring after the breach was discovered.

  • The incident underscores the ongoing risk from third-party vendors and may prompt customers to monitor accounts and consider credential changes.

  • It also highlights the importance of vendor risk management and continuous monitoring to mitigate data exposure and related phishing threats.

  • ManoMano said it is investigating the incident, notifying affected customers, and likely reviewing security practices with third parties.

  • The breach is linked to a Zendesk account operated by a subcontractor based in Tunis, as referenced by the claiming actor.

  • Affected data reportedly included personal customer details that could be exposed.

  • Indra, a threat actor, claimed responsibility in a dark web post, asserting that about 37.8 million individuals were affected in what appears to be a large-scale exfiltration.

  • ManoMano serves six European countries and operates ManoManoPro for professionals, drawing roughly 50 million monthly unique visitors.
