Thermomix Recipe World Forum Data Breach (2025)

On January 30, 2025, the Rezeptwelt forum used by Thermomix owners suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of 3.1 million registered users.

Named in this incident?

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 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting from Have I Been Pwned confirms the breach occurred in January 2025 and involved data belonging to users of the German-language recipe community tied to the popular Thermomix kitchen appliance. The exposed records include names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, usernames, and bios. The bios often contain personal notes about cooking habits, family preferences, or locations where users live or shop for ingredients.

No evidence has surfaced that the database was encrypted or that access was limited to hashed passwords only. The full set of records appears to have been taken in one incident rather than through ongoing access. As of now, the compromised data has not been widely linked to active ransomware leak sites, but copies are circulating in underground forums according to available reporting.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household owns a Thermomix and posted recipes or joined discussions on Rezeptwelt, your full contact details and date of birth are now available to identity thieves, scammers, and harassers. A physical address combined with a date of birth and phone number makes it far easier for criminals to impersonate you when calling banks, applying for credit, or targeting your family with phishing texts that look legitimate.
