SPOTLIGHT

A British publisher's research tool for online advertising founded in 2017 recently suffered a data breach. The company provides a SaaS platform for the supply side of ad tech and shows off some big household names in several industries across their web page. We have not seen any mention by the company about the data breach.

A Sri Lankan digital payment provider that was breached last year has seen its entire breached data dumped on the dark web. The payment provider was first launched in 2016 and had a bumpy start before going down several months later. However, after making a comeback in 2017 the company has gone from strength to strength, until last April, when the payment provider went offline for 36 hours.

By then it was being used by over 3,500 Sri Lankan businesses. Threat actors managed to download 64GB worth of data, which ranged from the standard data to credit card information. The company posted on Facebook after the attack, assuring its customers that no credit card information was exposed and has splashed across the front page of their website that they are "on the leading edge of safety and security."

An online mutual masturbation club has unfortunately (for its users) been breached. The site promotes the experience of meeting others while masturbating online and offline.
