Linkedin Data Leak
It was not even a week after the data leak case of 533 million Facebook users that the data of another social media platform was leaked. Yes, here we are talking about LinkedIn, the Microsoft authorized professional networking platform. The data of a total of 500 million users of this platform has been leaked, which is now being sold online. A hacker group has stolen users’ data from their profile which is now being sold online.
In this data leak, the data of users, which is being sold online, includes their full name, email ID, address, phone number, workplace information and other information. This report has been disclosed by CyberNews. It has been told in the report that the hacker group is selling these data of users at a price of 2 million, where its amount can increase further in the coming time. That is, it is possible that these groups can sell the information of the users in the form of bitcoins.
After the data leak case, LinkedIn said in its statement that, it investigated it where it knew that the data which has been made available for sale is taken from websites and companies. The company further said that, in the review that we did, it was found that, it definitely has profile data of publicly viewable members which is taken from LinkedIn but it is not a data breech. The company said that private member’s account data has not been taken from our platform.
The company further said that, whenever a member tries to take the data, we do not give permission to it and immediately stop it. But the report clearly states that the data of users has been taken from LinkedIn itself.
Please tell that a few days ago, the data of 53.3 crore users of Facebook was leaked, in which 61 lakh data was also from Indian users. This leaked data also included every information of the users. Facebook had said in this matter that it happened in the year 2019, which was fixed by the company in the same year.
