Earlier too, a data breach was confirmed back in November, when over 2 crore users data was compromised.
“This could lead to a serious problem for the affected customers as bad actors would gain access to their personal web accounts using the decrypted passwords and leaked email addresses,” Rajaharia told Gadegets360.
So may be if you are one of the the person who’s data has been compromised, we would suggest you to change your password immediately for the respective platforms.
