Το dating site είχε αναφέρει το 2015 ότι το hack είχε πραγματοποιηθεί σε έναν διακομιστή δοκιμών και ότι "η βάση δεδομένων δεν ήταν αυτή του κανονικού site."

According to Troy Hunt, a security researcher who runs the HaveIBeenPwned (a site dedicated to people who want to see if their data is available online), the data has already been sold, although it does not know who or how much , according to Forbes.

The data includes email addresses and sensitive information, such as phone numbers, but also more "innocent" information such as body type, hair color, weight, job, etc.

This information should be quite convenient for those trying to implement social engineering.

It is noted that among the leaked data from 1,1 users, there are also 170 government email addresses (.gov).
