Dating site hack

Lost24

The ShinyHunters hacker group has hacked the MeetMindful dating site. As a result of the hack, the data of 2.28 million users was revealed.


Hackers released a 1.2 GB database on a hacking forum.


The leaked data include: name and surname, email address, data related to residence, date of birth, location, IP address, password to the portal and Facebook identification data, as well as dating preferences.
The dobreprogramy portal suggests that the stolen data can be used in the so-called sextortion, i.e. blackmail based on the victim’s intimate materials.


You might think that the data stolen by hackers is not controversial, i.e. it does not contain any “rowdy” photos or conversations, however, not only singles set up accounts on dating websites...
