SoundCloud and 28 million accounts
When "non-sensitive" data shows how cyberattacks work today
When the first reports of a security incident on the SoundCloud platform appeared in recent days, the reaction was fairly calm. No passwords leaked. No payment details leaked. No private messages leaked.
SoundCloud later confirmed that attackers obtained email addresses and information from publicly available profiles of roughly 28 million user accounts, about one-fifth of the entire user base. At first glance, it might seem this is not a major problem.
But this very type of incident clearly shows how cyber threats have changed in recent years.
