Today is a day of the week that ends in --y, so that means another data breach has been reported with clockwork-like regularity. This time, the target was a gay dating app called Manhunt, which purports to have a user base of more than 6 million people.
According to the company behind the app, a hacker executed this data breach that exposed user profiles back in February. The company provided a statement to the Washington State attorney general that reads, in part, that this data breach saw the hacker having “downloaded the usernames, email addresses and passwords for a subset of our users in early February 2021." In total, at the moment, it's thought that 11% of the company's user base was affected by the hack.
