Nothing, the UK-based smartphone brand led by Carl Pei, has confirmed that it had discovered a ‘vulnerability’ that impacted the email addresses belonging to its community members. Notably, a recent report by Android Authority had stated that Nothing may have suffered a data breach which put the data of a number of community profiles at risk. 

Reportedly, the data relating to Nothing community members was spotted via a text file-sharing website that included publicly available information like usernames, display names, join dates, comment counts, last-seen information, forum profile permissions and more. However, the report also states that the data dump also included data that isn’t in the public domain including email addresses linked with community profiles and profile suspension fields

Nothing admitted the issue in a recent statement shared with LiveMint, but stated that the ‘vulnerability’ only affected email addresses belonging to community members and no personal information like password, names or payment information was compromised.

“In December 2022, Nothing discovered a vulnerability, which impacted email addresses belonging to community members at the time. No names, personal addresses, passwords, or payment information were compromised. Upon this discovery nearly a year and half ago, Nothing took immediate action to remedy the situation and bolster its security features.” Nothing said in its statement.
