https://www.hackread.com/shinyhunters-hacker-leaks-mashable-database/ ShinyHunters leaked the database earlier today revealing that it does not contain any password. Another day, another data breach. This time, the infamous hacker going by the online handle of ShinyHunters has leaked a database belonging to Mashable.com, a global media, and entertainment company. The 5.22GB worth of database was leaked earlier today on a prominent hacker forum. It can be confirmed that the database is now available on several other forums including Russian-speaking ones. Leaked database After analyzing some of the data, Hackread.com can confirm that the leaked database contains staff, users, and subscribers data such as full names, email addresses, country, gender, job description, online behavior related details, date of registration, IP addresses, social media profile links, and authentication tokens, etc. However, a sigh of relief for Mashable is that the database does not contain any password or financial details since the company runs an online shop on the same domain. The hacker, ShinyHinters, has also stated in their post on hacker forum that the “it (database) does not contain any password. We have informed Mashable about the breach and this article will be updated in case the media giant gets back to us with a statement. As for ShinyHunters; Mashable breach is another addition to their “portfolio.” In the last few months, the hacker leaked dozens of databases stolen from prominent companies including: WattPad – 271 million accounts leaked Dunzo – 11GB worth of data leaked Dave.com – 7 million accounts leaked Bhinneka – 1 million+ accounts leaked Minted – 5 million accounts leaked ProctorU – 444,267 accounts leaked Tokopedia – 91 million accounts leaked Couchsurfing – 17 million accounts leaked _______________________________________________ BreachExchange mailing list sponsored by Risk Based Security BreachExchange () lists riskbasedsecurity com If you wish to Edit your membership or Unsubscribe you can do so at the following link: https://lists.riskbasedsecurity.com/listinfo/breachexchange
