Have I Been Pwned has added the information for 26,818,266 people whose data was leaked in a recent hack of The Post Millennial conservative news website.

The Post Millennial is a conservative Canadian online news magazine belonging to the Human Events Media Group, which also operates the American 'Human Events' news platform.

Earlier this month, both news platforms were hacked, with their sites' front pages defaced with fake messages claiming to be written by The Post Millennial's editor, Andy Ngo.

As part of the attacks, the threat actors claim to have stolen the company's mailing lists, subscriber database, and details of the company's writers and editors, sharing links to the stolen data shared on the defaced pages.

The data quickly spread online, being shared in torrents and hacking forums, allowing threat actors and others to download the data easily.
