Huge database leak reveals 1.37 billion email addresses and exposes illegal spam operation
Found on Betanews on Monday, 06 March 2017
The database contains more than 1.37 billion email addresses, and for some records there are additional details such as names, real-world addresses, and IP addresses. It's a situation that's described as "a tangible threat to online privacy and security."
It remains to be seen quite what impact this will have on River City Media's operations, and whether there will be an immediate reduction in the amount of spam flying to inboxes around the world.
What gives this "research" a bad taste is the fact that it was done by MacKeeper. A software which is nothing but scareware and belongs to the same group as River City Media.
