About This Breach
In June 2022, Gigabox, previously known as Gigasize, a U.K.-based cloud backup service designed to protect personal data from computer crashes, hardware failures, malware, and other security threats, suffered a data breach that impacted nearly 2 million users. The compromised data included email addresses and plaintext passwords. This breach highlights the need for robust security measures, such as encrypting sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Stronger password management policies, including the use of unique, complex passwords and multi-factor authentication, are essential to prevent unauthorized access and mitigate the risks associated with such breaches.
