About This Breach
In June 2020, the AI training data company Appen suffered a data breach that exposed the details of nearly 5.9 million users, which were later sold online. The compromised data included names, email addresses, and passwords stored using bcrypt hashes, with some records also containing phone numbers, employers, and IP addresses. This breach underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect valuable user information from unauthorized access and exploitation.
