Popular Japanese dating app Omiai has reportedly been hacked, with the personally identifiable data of almost two million users most likely exposed.
According to reports the company that runs the app - Net Marketing Co - has notified the public of multiple unauthorized incursions into its servers during April this year.
During those incursions, the (still unknown) attackers made away with user names, photographs, as well as data from ID cards, driver’s licenses and passports, which were mandatory during registration, for KYC (know your customer) purposes. No payment or credit card data were compromised, the company confirmed.
