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.
