What happened

In August 2024, a data breach from the online styling service Lookiero was posted to a popular hacking forum.

When contacted about the incident, Lookiero advised that they would "look into it and get back to you if necessary".

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Lookiero — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
