Hackers Steal Personal Information of 21 Million Timehop Users
21 million users of Timehop, an app that reminds people about their social media posts on that day, are at risk after hackers breached the company servers on July 4. From a report: The company, in a blog post, says the security breach not only resulted in personal data (including names, addresses and, for some accounts, phone numbers) being stolen, but the hackers were also able to secure tokens allowing them to view people's posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Foursquare. Timehop says it quickly deactivated the tokens, which would have shut down access to the accounts. No private/direct messages, financial data, or social media content was affected, the company stressed. Attackers were apparently able to access the system's cloud servers because the company had not turned on multi-factor authentication. Timehop says the system was compromised for roughly two hours.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
