A major photography site, 500px<\/a>,\nrecently discovered they had suffered a data breach in July of last year. Data\nranging from name and email addresses, to birthdates and user locations, were\ncomprised. While the company did confirm no customer payment data is stored on\ntheir servers, all 15+ million users are receiving a forced password reset to\nensure no further accounts can be compromised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A recent email\ncampaign by a criminal organization known as Scarlet\nWidow<\/a> has been focusing on matchmaking sites for people they consider to be\nlonelier, elderly, or divorced. By creating fake profiles and gaining the trust\nof these individuals, the scammers are not only attempting to profit\nfinancially, but also causing emotional harm to already vulnerable people. In some cases these victims have been tricked\ninto sending thousands of dollars in response to false claims of needing\nfinancial assistance, with one victim sending over $500,000 in a single year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The founder of VFEmail<\/a>\nwatched as nearly 20 years-worth of data was destroyed by hackers in an attack\nthat began Monday morning. Just a few hours after servers initially went down,\na Tweet from a company account announced that all of the servers and backups\nhad been formatted by a hacker traced back to Bulgarian hosting services. The\nmotivation for the attack is still unclear, though given the numerous security\nmeasures the hacker successfully bypassed, it appears to have been a\nsignificant effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNigerian Scammers Target \u2018Lonely\u2019 Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
