Some 2.28 million MeetMindful.com dating site users had their data leaked in the past week due to a hack.
ZDNet reported on Sunday, January 24, a 1.2GB file containing information from the users registered on MeetMindful was made available on a hacking forum. The data dump appeared to be a leak of the site’s users database.
The report said data made public as part of the the leak included the following:
- Real names
- Email addresses
- City, state, and ZIP details
- Body details
- Dating preferences
- Marital status
- Birthdates
- Latitude and longitude
- IP addresses
- Bcrypt-hashed account passwords
- Facebook user IDs
- Facebook authentication tokens
ZDNet added that while not all the leaked accounts had their full details included, MeetMindful users should be wary as the data can be used to trace them back to their real-world identities.
Gizmodo, in its report, noted the inactivity of the site’s social media channels, while ZDNet said a MeetMindful spokesperson redirected a request for comment on Twitter to an email address that has not answered their query.
It is not clear as to whether MeetMindful has told its users about the incident.
Founded in 2013, MeetMindful is a dating site for those who ascribe to the health, wellness, and mindfulness lifestyle. – Rappler.com
