MaReads Data Breach (2025)

If you are a customer of MaReads, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In June 2025, MaReads, the website for readers and writers of Thai-language fiction and comics suffered a data breach that exposed 74k records. The breach included usernames, email addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. MaReads is aware of the breach.

On June 22, 2025, the Thai-language fiction and comics platform MaReads disclosed a breach that exposed records belonging to 74,000 users. The compromised data includes usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth. Anyone who created an account on the site to read or write stories may have had this information taken.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 582 companies.

What's Publicly Reported from Reporting

Public reporting from Have I Been Pwned confirms the breach occurred in June 2025 and that MaReads has acknowledged the incident. The exposed database contained 74K records with the four categories of personal information listed above. No financial data, passwords, or government ID numbers appear to have been taken. The company has not released a detailed timeline of when the intrusion happened or how the attackers gained access.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Even a low-severity breach like this one creates real risks for ordinary people. Email addresses and phone numbers are the keys attackers use to launch phishing campaigns or SIM-swapping attempts. Dates of birth combined with usernames help criminals build profiles that make social-engineering attacks more convincing. If you or your children used the same password on MaReads that you use elsewhere, that credential is now one step closer to being tested against your bank, email, or social-media accounts.

Children and teenagers who read Thai web fiction or comics are often the ones creating accounts on these platforms. Their usernames and dates of birth can link back to family information, turning a hobby site breach into a doorway that leads to broader household exposure.
