VK.com HACKED! 100 Million Clear Text Passwords Leaked Online

[pr00f]

Another day, another Data Breach! Now, Russia's biggest social networking site VK.com is the latest in the line of historical data breaches targeting social networking websites.

The same hacker who previously sold data dumps from MySpace, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and Fling.com, is now selling more than 100 Million VK.com records for just 1 Bitcoin (approx. US$580).

The database contains information like full names (first names and last names), email addresses, plain-text passwords, location information, phone numbers and, in some cases, secondary email addresses.

Yes, plain-text passwords. According to Peace, the passwords were already in plain text when the VK.com was hacked. So, if the site still stores passwords in cleartext today, this could be a real security risk for its users.

The hacker, named Peace (or Peace_of_mind), is selling the dataset -- which is over 17 gigabytes in size -- on The Real Deal dark web marketplace for a mere 1 Bitcoin.

Avand in vedere ca se vinde pe piata neagra..o fi probabil un SCAM bine elaborat.
Nu poti sparge VK.com sau Facebook asa simplu.
Sunt si serverele alea securizate.
Este doar o parere.

Nu este scam si nu iti trebuie "piata neagra" ca sa gasesti baza de date.Securitatea e doar o iluzie a omului.

Orice lucru inventat de om este vulnerabil.
