NAfter Xing had more than good news to report with the increase in sales despite the Corona crisis, the business network now has to deal with a somewhat more uncomfortable topic: There is a data leak that apparently affects numerous members of the platform. That comes from a message that Xing loudly AreaMobile sent to affected users. Accordingly, the company was informed by the University of Bonn that a collection of log-in data that had recently appeared on the Internet also contained email addresses, user names and passwords from various Xing members.
Data leak: how to protect yourself!
The message to the members does not reveal where the sensitive data comes from. However, Xing expressly points out that this is an external data leak that is not caused by the company. Nevertheless, the company was forced to inform its users about it and, as a precaution, to log it out of all Xing services. Furthermore, the operators of the platform advise those affected to change their password immediately. Otherwise you run the risk of granting unauthorized access to your own account.
