When a shopper uses Phia\u2019s browser extension to make a purchase, the software drops a \u201ccookie\u201d that tracks the retailer and indicates that Phia earned a commission for driving the sale. <\/p>\n<p>A July 2026 Bloomberg investigation alleged that Phia co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni knowingly pushed for features within the software that took credit for sales they didn\u2019t actually drive. The illicit practice carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. <\/p>\n<p>Phia generated $30 million in 2025 from big-name backers including Hailey Bieber and Kris Jenner, and took credit for sales from prominent companies including Nike, Nordstrom, and Gap, according to the report. <\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg alleged that after they exposed the alleged cookie-stuffing in July, Phia disabled the features in question and saw their daily revenue drop from $80,000 to between $10,000 and $28,000.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg claimed to have Slack messages and information from those close to the situation showing that Gates and Kianni were aware of the cookie-stuffing for at least seven months, but they said they had only become aware of the matter \u201cwithin the last 24 hours,\u201d according to the Bloomberg report.<\/p>\n<p>Gates and Kianni asserted that they would fix the issue.<\/p>\n<p>A Phia spokesperson told The New York Post: \u201cAny features causing misattributions were immediately removed over a month ago on July 7.
