A tasty treat in form of data of 617 million users of 16 different websites and applications has recently appeared on the Tor network. Data was listed for sale with a price of 20,000 bitcoins, or over USD 70 million!
According to The Register, the stolen data comes from sites such as MyFitnessPal, Dubsmash, MyHeritage, ShareThis, HauteLook, Animoto, EyeEm, 8fit, Whitepages, Fotolog, 500px, Armor Games, BookMate, CofeeMeets, Artsy and DataCamp.
Data leak from the Dubsmash app is “valuable” due to the fact that it is popular among such celebrities as Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez.
Remember that your data may also leak, in such situations it is best to use password manager instead of one password for multiple websites/accounts, which is a common error among Internet users.
