Chegg

In 2018, Chegg experienced a massive data leak that compromised the personal information of millions of users. The breach exposed a staggering 39721127 records, including names, email addresses, passwords, and other sensitive data.

The leaked data was reportedly obtained by an unknown party who gained unauthorized access to Cheggs systems. The breach was first discovered in September 2018, but it took Chegg several weeks to acknowledge the incident and notify affected users.

The leak raised serious concerns about the security of Cheggs platform and the privacy of its users. Chegg has since implemented additional security measures to prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future. However, the leaked data remains available on the dark web, posing an ongoing risk to affected individuals.
