Fling

In 2011, a data breach occurred on the social networking platform Fling, exposing the personal information of over 40 million users. The leak was caused by a security vulnerability in the platforms code, which allowed unauthorized access to user data.

The compromised information included usernames, passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses. The leak also included user activity logs, such as chat messages, friend lists, and photos. The data was believed to have been stolen by hackers and then sold on the black market.

The Fling leak was one of the largest data breaches of its time, and it had a significant impact on the privacy of millions of users. The leak raised concerns about the security of online platforms and the potential risks of sharing personal information online.
