If you are using Instagram, TikTok and YouTube then there is a big news for you. At least 235 million users of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube have been hit by a massive data leak.
This big data leak is revealed by a security research company Comparitech. Recently 15 billion login details were leaked on the forum of Dark Web, out of which 386 million data was made public by hackers.
According to reports, the data of 100 million Instagram users have been leaked, which contains complete information about the profile of users. At the same time, the data of 42 million TikTok users has been leaked, while the personal information of 4 million YouTube users is in danger. The leaked data includes information such as profile name, full real name, profile photo, account description, account engagement, number of followers, followers growth rate, audience age, location, and likes.
According to the researchers, the leaked data points to a company called Deep Social banned by both Facebook and Instagram in 2018. However, Social Data has denied any connection between itself and Deep Social.
The information would probably be most valuable to spammers and cybercriminals running phishing campaigns.
