Mate1 Passed 27 million passwords in plain text

Her hack dating σελίδας Mate1.com απλά απέδειξε ότι το hack της Madison δεν μας έμαθε τίποτα.Ένας hacker στο “Hell” ένα hacking forum του Dark Web, ισχυρίζεται ότι έχει αποκτήσει πρόσβαση σε πάνω από 27 εκατομμύρια κωδικούς πρόσβασης σε μορφή απλού κειμένου της ιστοσελίδας Mate1.com. mate1

The hacker reports that the passwords have already been sold, and the requested price was 20 bitcoin (about 8.700 dollars). The actual selling price is unknown at this time.

"Their server was compromised and the MySQL database was dumped," the hacker told Motherboard.

“Είχα πρόσβαση shell/command στον κεντρικό their."

The shocking thing is that (as shown) the Dating site Mate1.com stored its users' passwords in plain text without an encryption trace.

To find out if a page stores passwords without encryption, try creating the account by clicking on the "I forgot my password" link. If your password is emailed to you then it is saved in plain text format.

So if any of you have at Mate1.com, it's time to change your password.

Needless to say, if you have an account with another website with the same password you need to change it immediately. It has often been observed that the same passwords are used in too many services. So a code from Mate1.com could also have been used for Gmail, Amazon, or a bank account.

We know that if it does not happen, one does not learn, but it is time to start learning from the mistakes of others.
