MobiFriends

MobiFriends operates as an online dating platform that connects individuals seeking personal relationships through its mobile application and web services. The company, also known by the alias MobiFriends Solutions, is headquartered in Spain and provides a space where users can create profiles, exchange messages, and share activity details to facilitate matches. Its core offering centers on enabling social interaction and matchmaking for a diverse user base interested in dating and companionship. While the specific geographic reach of its user base is not detailed in the available sources, the service is accessible to individuals who register via the app or website, allowing them to interact regardless of location.

The organisation gained public attention following a security breach disclosed for the date of 2019‑01‑01, which compromised the personal data of approximately 3.6 million users. The exposed information included email addresses, mobile numbers, dates of birth, genders, usernames, activity details, and passwords that were stored using weak MD5 hashing. After the breach, the stolen dataset was leaked publicly and contained professional email addresses linked to employees of major corporations, thereby increasing the risk of spear‑phishing, credential‑stuffing, and extortion attempts. The origin of the breach—whether due to server vulnerabilities or an exposed database—remains unclear, and MobiFriends has not issued a public acknowledgment of the incident despite third‑party verification of the data’s authenticity. This event highlights the company’s focus on dating services while underscoring shortcomings in its data protection practices, particularly the use of inadequate hashing algorithms for password storage. No further details about ownership, parent or subsidiary relationships, or additional organisational structure are provided in the source material.
