Over 3.3 million users have been compromised as a popular online community for Hello Kitty was raped. Data leakage was spotted and reported by a security researcher Chris Vickery weekend. Parents warned that the accounts of users online Hello Kitty raped, including both first and last names, email address, sex, country of origin and other sensitive details. In addition to these details, it was also revealed that the passwords were compromised as well, including the question and answer security required for extra protection and other access.
The site, SanrioTown.com, which is one of the largest online communities for Hello Kitty, is not the only site Hello Kitty to have been exposed. Other fan sites such as hellokitty.com, hellokitty.com.sg and mymelody.com were also affected and their databases available online. Sanrio, the company behind the websites, has not issued a statement about the data breach. He still does not know what or who caused the leak, if it was a hack or just carelessness, but anyway, many details of people were exposed online.
This data breach is the second of its kind to assign a product geared toward children, as first arrived there only a month when VTech has been targeted for hacking. This particular attack compromised the personal information of millions of customers who have used the App Store online for toys. A man of 21 years England has been arrested in connection with the attacks.
With so many attacks, breaches and data theft occur at this time, now is the best time to start protecting yourself online. While you can not necessarily control where and how your data is stored online, you can at least be aware that the information you give. Not only can you not see how to secure your data, but it is impossible to say how the company used or how they store. Many companies, large and small, have been the subject of a control on how data from their client was protected. Until stricter policies come into play, or more severe penalties for not protecting the data, it's a good idea to check the data you give.
Get a VPN for an additional level of safety whenever you are online. The VPN allows you to connect to the Internet via a secure and encrypted tunnel, preventing anyone from snooping on your online activity.
