According to a Bloomberg report, hackers attempted to breach the databases of companies like Tinder, Bumble, Crunchbase, and Panera Bread. While the companies claim that core user data and direct messages remain secure, a limited amount of contact details were affected. This incident serves as a major warning regarding digital privacy and online security.

Confirming the cyberattack, Bumble clarified that the hackers failed to access their members' core databases, account credentials, or direct messages. Match Group (Tinder) acknowledged that a limited amount of data was affected, but there is currently no evidence of financial information or login credentials being leaked.

Companies Whose Data Was Affected
A spokesperson for data provider Crunchbase stated that some documents on their corporate network were affected by the attack, which was contained promptly. This attack demonstrates that cybercriminals are now targeting not only individual users but also large corporate data infrastructure. The increasing number of connected devices and the evolving techniques of attackers have become a major concern for companies.

Although these companies have denied a major data leak and have strengthened their security, this incident is a reminder for users to regularly change their passwords and use two-factor authentication (2FA). Dating apps and similar platforms contain sensitive personal information, chats, and location data, making such attacks particularly concerning for users.

Important Advice for Users
Users are advised to use strong and unique passwords for their accounts. They should enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and avoid suspicious links and emails. If they receive such links, they should not open them and immediately report the incident to the cyber police. They should also keep their apps updated regularly.
