Clip.mx

Clip.mx, also known by its alias, is an organization headquartered in Mexico. The entity became known publicly after being named in a large‑scale data‑exposure incident reported in late 2020. In that incident, a threat actor advertised the sale of user records that allegedly originated from Clip.mx among other victims. The organization’s involvement was limited to the disclosure that its user data appeared in the offered dataset. No further public description of Clip.mx’s core business or services is available from the source material. Its presence in the breach report is the only confirmed fact about the organization’s activities.

According to the breach report dated 2020‑10‑28, Clip.mx contributed approximately 4.7 million records containing email addresses and phone numbers to a larger collection of 34 million records from seventeen companies. The seller acted as a broker, aggregating data from multiple victims that included contact details, hashed passwords, and personal identifiers such as tax numbers or social‑media credentials. The aggregated material spanned diverse industry sectors and exhibited a mix of weakly and securely hashed authentication data. While one of the affected companies publicly acknowledged the breach, most, including Clip.mx, had not confirmed the compromise at the time of reporting. The incident highlighted the risks associated with third‑party brokerage of stolen databases.
