Hello,

I’m reaching out to let you know about a security incident that resulted in
the email address from your Substack account being shared without your
permission.

I’m incredibly sorry this happened. We take our responsibility to protect
your data and your privacy seriously, and we came up short here.

*What happened.* On February 3rd, we identified evidence of a problem with
our systems that allowed an unauthorized third party to access limited user
data without permission, including email addresses, phone numbers, and
other internal metadata. This data was accessed in October 2025. *Importantly,
credit card numbers, passwords, and financial information were not
accessed.*

*What we are doing.* We have fixed the problem with our system that allowed
this to happen. We are conducting a full investigation, and are taking
steps to improve our systems and processes to prevent this type of issue
from happening in the future.

*What you can do.* We do not have evidence that this information is being
misused, but we encourage you to take extra caution with any emails you
receive that may be suspicious.

This sucks. I'm sorry. We will work very hard to make sure it does not
happen again.

- Chris Best, CEO of Substack
