A suspected cyber-murder may have exposed the data of 700 million Pinduoduo users, but the company has yet to respond.🗞 The cybercriminal gang Babuk, behind the alleged ransomware attack, has listed Chinese online retailer Pinduoduo as a victim on its dark web leak site.
The platform is the largest product of Shanghai-based PDD Holdings, which also owns popular e-commerce marketplace Temu. According to the hackers, the attackers have 892 GB of data containing details of almost 700 million people. The stolen data allegedly includes:
Customer names Phone numbers Addresses Order IDs Items purchased Prices Time of purchase
Exposing such data could be costly for users, as it is a real treasure trove for cybercriminals. They can use detailed information about users’ purchases to create convincing phishing attacks.
