Cyberattack IDW Publisher
On February 5, 2026, we learned of a cyberattack on IDW Verlag that took place on January 10, 2026.
A final assessment of the types of data affected and the extent of the attack is still pending and is currently under investigation. The IDW asks for increased vigilance and recommends changing passwords in any case.
If you have any questions, please contact the IDW data protection officer, Wolfgang Anfang (datenschutz@idw.de).
