Up to 42 million lonely hearts have had their personal details stolen from an Australian online dating service.
A hacker targeted the niche dating service Cupid Media, which is run out of Southport on the Gold Coast, earlier this year, stealing client names, email addresses, unencrypted passwords and birthdays. The data was found on a server on which hackers had amassed tens of millions of records stolen from Adobe, PR Newswire and the US National White Collar Crime Centre (NW3C), among others.
Cupid Media says it operates over 30 niche dating websites based on ethnicity, lifestyle preferences, religion and location. It also operate a few other miscellaneous dating related services.
