Reddit Data Breaches: Emails, Passwords leaked
The US social news site Reddit announced on Wednesday that several of its systems were hacked, resulting in the theft of some user data, including the e-mail address currently used by the user and a 2007 database backup containing the old encrypted password.
According to Reddit, the hacker obtained a copy of the old database backup containing the early Reddit user data, spanning the site from 2005 to May 2007.
According to Slowe, Reddit discovered on June 19 that the attacker invaded the accounts of several employees of the company between June 14 and June 18.
According to Reddit, the attack was achieved by intercepting the employee’s text message, which contained one-time passcodes. The company also added that they had notified the affected users of the matter.
