Personal data from 30 million users of China’s top dating app Momo is reportedly being sold for as little as RMB 200 (around $30).
Weibo user lxghost posted a series of screenshots from the Chinese dark web entitled “database of 30 million Momo users” today (December 3), with a comment saying: “Momo’s database is quite cheap.”TechNode was unable to verify the claims made by the Weibo user.
According to the screenshots, data on offer includes phone numbers and passwords.
Cybersecurity experts told the Southern Metropolis Daily that users who use identical accounts and passwords for every platform are highly vulnerable to such attacks.
Additionally, a recent report by the China Consumer Association (CCA) found that 85.2% of app users in China have experienced data leaks.
