User names and e-mail addresses of 20 million visitors to a Russian-based dating site have been hacked and offered for sale on a website, according to Daniel Ingevaldson, chief technology officer of fraud-detection software-maker Easy Solutions Inc.
Topface didn’t respond to a request for comment via its press website. Ingevaldson said it is no longer clear that users’ passwords were also taken, as he originally told Bloomberg.
A hacker calling himself “Mastermind” is claiming to be in possession of over 20 million credentials for an unnamed dating site. These credentials are claimed to be 100% valid in a posting to a paste site. Included in the list are over 7 million credentials from Hotmail, 2.5 million from Yahoo and 2.2 million from Gmail.com.
