Alleged LinkedIn, Tumblr and Myspace hacker compromised
A hacker that has targeted several American social media sites has now hit the Russian version of Facebook.
On the heels of several American social networking site breaches including LinkedIn, Tumblr and Myspace, a hacker has obtained a database containing roughly 171 million user accounts associated with the Russian-based, Facebook-inspired, social networking site VK.com.
The hacker Peace, who is allegedly also responsible for the aforementioned breaches, is selling a portion of the dataset, 100 million accounts, for 1 Bitcoin or roughly $US570, according to Vice's Motherboard.
