Phone House España

In December 2021, Phone House España, a Spanish telecommunications company, experienced a major data breach that exposed the personal information of over 5 million customers. The leaked data included names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and purchase histories.

The breach was discovered by security researcher Troy Hunt, who found the data on a dark web forum. Hunt estimated that the leak affected approximately 5,223,350 records, making it one of the largest data breaches in Spanish history.

The leak was a major blow to Phone House Españas reputation and resulted in a significant financial loss for the company. The company was fined €1 million by the Spanish Data Protection Agency and was forced to take several steps to improve its data security.
