Dave.com, from unicorn to black hole
Based on what has been found, 7,516,625 users would have been involved: in the light of a declared user of 7 million users, it seems entirely plausible to be able to say that the entire audience of Dave users has been involved in this black hole of personal information, now at the mercy of anyone who wants to access it through the appropriate channels - clearly illegal - of distribution.
Dave.com, serious data breach
The confirmation came over the weekend from the Dave team, who could only make up for what they learned: a series of information related to their users leaked online. Details such as name, email, date of birth, residential address and telephone number would have been found on the database: instead, credit card numbers, financial transactions or other elements of this caliber have not leaked, but there is already enough to make data breach extremely valuable to attackers. As known, in fact, once stolen these data are put on sale: the completeness and updating of this set of information is certainly extremely attractive for online scammers.The team Dave.com explains he launched immediately the investigations and have now found the cause of the problem: the interaction with Waydev, a third-party service to which you have suddenly been given a set of permissions that would not, instead, due to enable. The situation has been taken put in a safe place , but now the oxen had escaped: the data of the clients are now available to download on the special forum and to this there is not much you can do. If you do not take consciousness of how fragile and important it is to have online security, especially for services that are highly sensitive such as financial ones.
