The operator apologizes for a data protection incident in his forum. It was determined that there was unauthorized access to a subordinate server of an external service provider. Third parties were able to access certain user profile data without authorization between January 30th and February 3rd, 2025. After an immediate review in close cooperation with our service provider and internal security and data protection experts, we can pass on the following information to you:
Vorwerk web shops were affected.
The temporary security vulnerability on Rezeptwelt.de has been fixed.
No access was made to Vorwerk’s internal systems.
The provider states that it takes information security very seriously and acted immediately. The problem was solved immediately in cooperation with a service provider and the security gap has now been closed. The affected subordinate server was taken offline and decommissioned.
The operator writes that, depending on which data someone has filled in their profile, the following data fields are affected by the data leak:
full name
address
Birthday
phone number
E-mail address
Data someone has entered about your cooking and Thermomix® preferences
The provider reassures that no user passwords or sensitive data, such as payment information, of the registered users are affected.
The forum operator warns users of the forum that wuhan mobile numbers list those affected may receive unwanted emails (spam, phishing attempts, etc.). In addition, data could also be misused by third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. In general, the operator recommends:
not to respond to unusual and unknown messages (emails, text messages) as they could be a phishing attempt,
